More From Joseph Joubert

If the lost word is lost, if the spent word is spent if the unheard, unspoken word is unspoken, unheard; still is the spoken word, the word unheard, the word without a word, the word within the world and for the world; and the light shone in the darkness and against the word the unstilled world still whirled about the center of the silent word. oh my people, what have i done unto thee. where shall the word be found, where shall the word resound? not here, there is not enough silence

A writer is a person who cares what words mean, what they say, how they say it. writers know words are their way towards truth and freedom, and so they use them with care, with thought, with fear, with delight. by using words well they strengthen their souls. story-tellers and poets spend their lives learning that skill and art of using words well. and their words make the souls of their readers stronger, brighter, deeper.
