Erudite scholars debate a Question: If anyone were able to become proficient and fluent in all known symbol-systems,
would there still be a part of experience left unexpressed? Henry Moore would become slightly irritated
and annoyed when interviewers asked him, after touring his studio, to summarize his sculpture in "just-a-few-sentences."
He refused by politely asking "Now there wouldn't be any need for the sculpture if I could do that,
would there?" If you watch toddlers manage before they catch on to speaking their native tongue,
or if you listen carefully to your inner response when viewing the pictographs you "know" an experience
that transcends words - and just may make them obsolete! Being isn't doing or telling - .........it
just IS.
