Wondering about my Wanderings

Learning the Language

Constance Hale says "We are born with a natural delight in the music of language. Language is an adventure, a mysterious one. "

However, Ezra Pound says, " A writer must spend as much time developing our craft as a musician does practicing scales. It does not come naturally, it is a learned craft similar to musicians, sports players or dancers."

Do you agree or disagree with Constance Hale? Do you agree or disagree with Ezra Pound?

I am of the opinion that all persons are living human documents without a need to say or write anything. With that in mind I see a dynamic at work. There is a component of being who I am, without a need to do anything or not do anything for that matter. I am a gift who can give a gift and that story is the essence of my being and the gift that every person has opportunity to share.

There is also a task component. We are not human doings and yet at the same time we need to develop skills so that others will hear the story. There is the skill of communicating truth in my God given voice or as a intercessory presence giving a voice who would not be listened to otherwise. I think communication learning is a reflective process that requires time and personal investment.

We are given the gift of language and what we do with that gift is our gift to those who might not know this wonderful gift otherwise. ENJOY!!!
