In the Beginning was the Word...

"My words fly up,
my thoughts remain below:
Words without thoughts
never to heaven go."

-Hamlet 3.3

Words are our thoughts made into sounds! They can make you laugh or cry. They can wound or heal.
Be careful with your thoughts and especially your words that come out of them.
Capture the spirit of discovery that has motivated all who have sought to lift their words and ideas beyond the pale confines of this "too too solid flesh." As many have before them, their words will reach the heavens...

A powerful agent is the right word.
Whenever we come upon one of those intensely right words...
the resulting effect is physical as well as spiritual,
and electrically prompt. -Mark Twain.




The Rundetaarn or round tower is Europe's oldest functioning observatory. The curious have glimpsed the stars from atop this tower since 1642. When these early explorers studied the heavens from its summit, it teases the mind to imagine what they must have thought.
