Gendlin writes of words and slots, implicit intricacy, and the lot as if they were living, doing things, and so far he does not speak directly of people in the conversation.

Words can be employed so malleably (while yet presenting a hard edge), what does this say of the words’s employers?

:- Doug.

A word can curve when it comes into an unaccustomed slot. Say it curved or say it slant or say it clearly, but always put it in service of humans in conversation.

:- Doug.

What if we made our conversations to intensify life?

:- Doug.

:- Doug.

Life does the unexpected
So must conversation
Life experiments
