RT @nick_routledge: @HootenWilson The Word that calls galaxies into being also speaks syllables into form. When that Word breathes through language, imagination is baptized—a shimmering echo of the great Incarnation. Under this Word, our words become sacraments of meaning—beauty bearing the weight of truth.

Thread here: 1/3 Speech is causal, consequential, covenantal. Our Sages insist that words are not merely sounds but acts of creation whose weight accumulates across time, seeding either resurrection or ruin. Life and death, of persons and worlds, dwell in the power of the tongue. Quote tweet: Universally, speech is understood as subtle architecture—building or breaking the invisible structures we live within. To speak is to shape; to lie or wound is to distort, divide, destroy, desecrate. The common language of a pluriversal practice, then: repairing what is ruptured? Tweet: 2/ Each syllable breathed prepares a future, both within the soul and across the shared world. Speech, as such, is eschatological. To speak well is to confront deception's architecture itself—aligning with the Word through which all things cohere and tend. Evil speech reaps hell. Quote tweet: 14/ This is to confront the architecture of illusion itself. Incarnation is expanded, disclosed, politicized—entwined in evolutionary, ecological and digital fabric. The Word becomes flesh not once but continually, poured out wherever relational bonds strengthen life's wholeness.
Open original document@PervertGuide The deepest layer of reality is not 'stuff' but living utterance—generative speech. Spirit is articulated relation; existence in eternal conversation—first cause and final cause voiced as a single, cruciform Word. Meaning is the eschatological grammar of that Voice in time.

Tweets and subtweets: George Steiner spoke of "the honest treason of the comparatist, the translator; a persistent infidelity to any one tradition, culture or community of recognition." Ultimately, the greater assimilative space of a planetary prophetology? Hillman: "Words, like angels, are powers." Sublime, from @chebhocine on Said, echoing the trans-cultural, cross-fertilizing hermeneutics of the contemporary poet-translator, Clayton Eshleman: “the antiphonal traffic of translation, for me, opens up a greater assimilative space than monolingual reading.” George Steiner: “If, as blind poets can, we pass our fingers along the living edge of words – Spanish words, Russian words, Aramaic words, the syllables of a singer in Cathay – we shall feel in them the subtle beat of a great current pulsing from a common center...” 3/ The subtle beat of a great current pulsing from a common center; the final word, the root mantra, made up of all letters and combinations of letters in all tongues. Earth Epiphany, planetarily manifest.
