The Color of Language

The Color of Language:

aideemoi:

One of my favorite podcasts is RadioLab. I’m always interested whenever they tackle language related questions—such as why the color blue isn’t mentioned, even once, in either The Illiad or The Odyssey by Homer. I love how linguists have tracked when each color, red, green, yellow, purple, and blue showed up in various languages. And how they came to the realization that blue doesn’t appear until somehow, we as humans can recreate it, paint it. It’s as if we refuse to admit something exists until we puny humans can make it, too. I guess color is one of those things we can’t take on faith. We have to see it, feel it, touch it, smell it, taste it before we recognize it. The episode is fascinating. Give it a listen.

One of my favorite shows- even read a portion of the book on Color mentioned in show

TO DANCE WITH THE LIMP

I have survived so much loss, as all of us have by now - my parents, dear friends, my pets. Rubble is the ground on which our deepest friendships are built. If you haven’t already, you will lose someone you can’t live without, and your heart will be badly broken; and the bad news is that you never completely get over the loss of a beloved person.

But this is also the good news. They live forever, in your broken heart that doesn’t seal back up. And you come through. It’s like having a leg that never heals perfectly - that still hurts when the weather is cold - but you learn to dance with the limp.

From “Homage to Age and Femininity” by Anne Lamott, published in O Magazine

FOR FURTHER REFLECTION

If you want to reflect on another limp, take some time with the biblical text about Jacob, the blessing and the limp: Genesis 32:22-32
