The written word. Fantastic form of expression. What solid ground can we relate to one another? Technology to aid in connecting us all as well. Yet through this connection a proximity is gained-a necessity to coexist through rules and expectations. " It [Technology] appears to eliminate slowness, distance, and ultimately identity." (Guillaume, Marc) We define everything, including our existance with words and symbols. Has the affect of words and their power been confused through various searches of alterity?-Yes. David Abram says the word draws power from our sensuous surroundings-earth. The Apache Indians had a practice of story telling were they would sing place names. The earth was the median for communication-everyone knew the places and the stories to go with them. Their history, values and moral code all related to the land.

Where do today's words come from? What power do you and I put into words. A dictionary holds supreme power-but do many people speak in vernacular oxford English? Our journey of language is experience and interactions. But in today's world, the power of the word is gained from you, I, and so many other not so constant forms all in different contexts and and unrelated sensuous surroundings. Building into the internal paradox of communication, "the more we communicate, the more we destroy communication; or, the less we exchange, the more we have to communicate." Baudrillard, Jean (45)
Capturing essences is beyond the codes capabilities-only manipulation is possible. Are we distancing ourselves from roots already before us? Attempting to get back into touch with ourselves and the world through the word. Validation to be found once and only defined are we alive. Each of us as an original definition-so many bodies distanced from one another by the self seeking singularity.
