“Words reduce reality to something the human mind can grasp, which isn’t very much.”
Eckart Tolle, A New Earth
Words are important. I don’t think Tolle means to discount them – though if he did that would add yet another twist to the quote written by a New York Times best seller on the Oprah Book Club list. I think what he is conveying is that we get full of words, sated with verbiage, very quickly. He’s right. I’ll stop there.
