¿Cómo?

If you lived your life without the use of language you would still be able to communicate. Amazing isn't it? Prior to our development of language, we were all a drooling, cooing, squirmy bunch of tiny persons in need of an overseer for our most basic needs.

Acquiring language and actually using it however, is a choice. We learn by emulating and by letting inspiration and motivation guide us. However, we fail when we are at a loss of words, we fumble when we said something we didn't mean, and we fall when we step away from human interaction.

Think about the last time something "spoke" to you. Was it a piece of art, a quote, a film, a familiar scent from your childhood, a brush of fabric against your skin, or the warmth of the sun when you tilted your head back to let it warm your soul?

How then do objects that have no language speak? And as blessed as we are to be endowed with language, why have we chosen to replace it with silence rather than use it as a means of sound?

Maybe the chickens can better explain...


Paz.
