The consciousness that attends and holds open the space for discourse has been in-formed by language. Language provides a kind of architecture that sustains the shape and openness of consciousness. Think of the difference between hearing your child cry with glee at seeing you and hearing your somewhat older child say, hi daddy. The hi daddy, does the same and something more. The felt sense of hearing the hi daddy, gives greater throw, specificity, articulates and links the articulation to the world of greetings and good-byes.
Words make the absence present.
This word is a fluid piece of architecture that in-forms consciousness and frees that consciousness for the openness of being with me even when I am not there. The body is in-formed by that capacity to make the absent present. The body can now hold the resonant sense of being that only language can hold - hold because naming sustains and frees. When my son repeats the word daddy to himself, he vibrates with the resonance of the word. When he speaks the words, hi daddy, the resonance changes and is energetically extended out towards me, his dad.
