Empowering

After I joined the ".. .." team,

it felt like a surreal dream.

Working for the solution,

maintaining human evolution.

But in the general absence of care,

rampant denial of responsibility

despite apparent acts of stupidity,

it all turned into a silly nightmare.

Pointing out the hypocrisy

in the obvious discrepancy

between noble words and foolish action

turned out be an unwanted distraction.

So I can only put my trust into the land,

as another of my stories comes to an end.

When we frame the inquiry "how did human languages originate?" in terms not of adaption but of living bodies, we are necessarily confronted with the creation of meaning, a creation that did not arise de nove but was grounded in an already present semantic repertoire, itself grounded in archetypal corporeal-kinetic forms and relations that, as suggested, follow along biological family lines. Accordingly, we should take not only gestural systems of communication seriously: we should take movement seriously, all the more so in view of the fact that in the bisocation of modalities, the kinetic modality is always primary: it is the source of meaning.
