Lee, how about this.. if we acknowledge that a word is necessary to
communicate.. then instead of making the word an absolute we under-
stand that the word is just a form of presentation and that
there are many others forms available within that form. The "word"
or label is *ALWAYS* only respresentative of a piece of the possibility..
in this way we might be able to continue to communicate with words.. but
hold open the possibility that the "form" can always transform? It is
difficult to train the mind into formlessness but what about multiple forms?

Just some thoughts!
