The Language of Love

The English language is 75% nouns and 25% verbs, which means it lends greatly towards classifying, dividing, objectifying. In contrast, indigenous languages are 25%. It comes from a wider lens of perception so that we're able to sense that indivisibility of life, that life is animate. So our language can either reflect and honor this living, communing, interdependent world, which nourishes love. We fall back in love with our planet. Or instead our language can present a really fractured static world of mostly separate objects,. then cuts us off and armors our heart.
