Pictures and Words

A picture is worth a thousand words - but what's more telling?

A picture is photographic mimicry of light, it's a representation of a moment.
But words. Words are different. Words are creations of the mind, symbols chosen by their writer to describe what is otherwise abstract and within, describing an experience from the inside out. Pictures tell the truths of their subjects. But words tell greater truths of their writers.

So what's more telling? How someone looks, or what they say?

If you are going to stand before a jury, you must first convince them by your image that you're worthy to be a lawyer. But then, then what comes out of your mouth is far superior in importance! You must make them see what you yourself know to be true, you must use words like fireworks, blowing up their imaginations; showing them a reality that can only be realized from within.

And if you've read this far, you have succeeded in creating something much bigger than any picture can tell you. In your mind alone, your imagination has constructed an entire series of images and thoughts that only you possess. I say words, and in your mind the image is fashioned based upon your own thoughts and experiences, and therefore is a creation uniquely yours.

First Agreement: Be Impeccable With Your Word.

And It's ok to say the wrong thing, becase it makes you imagine further, and learn more. It's ok to contradict yourself, because you're expressing truth. And learning comes fastest with honesty.

Looks can be deceiving because a word's worth a thousand looks.

That's all. Good show tonight.
