Agreed.
In other words, back to one of the main tributaries of this thread.
The way I am using context/experience dovetails well with your analysis, rb.
What I'm conscious of far more than the words I use - which flow quite spontaneously from me - is the ongoing contextual frame through which I deliver them. I consciously create that and it takes real work and focus.
Hopefully this excellent thread can provide some touchstones for others who are treading the same path - toward contextualizing their experience and using words in ways that re-create the experience of meaning rather than simply lining up dictionary definitions in a linear recitation of sounds in thin air or type on (web or paper) pages.
And to try to bring it back to the very birth of the thread, hopefully those who have become habituated to hanging on every word and using the words of others to hang them from the rooftops will take a step back and allow words to disappear into the non-existence from which they may have issued in the first place.
Words are as Hal said "Powerful, moving..." Only if we can see them for what they are can we hope to be free from the hypnotic trance they tend to have on us...
