Life is fragile.
Handle with prayer.
Fascinating, doing fluency therapy with a religious young man who stutters. I always show a cross section of the respiratory system and vocal mechanism, with a column of light flowing from lungs through the bronchi to pass smoothly through the vocal folds, then to be molded and shaped by the pulsings of pharynx tongue and lips into the wonder that differentiates us from all other creations: talk. I want to convey the idea that speech flows, unobstructed. But suddenly, to see that we are, with every utterance, being in the image, saying "Let there be light", and then gently molding, shaping that pure light, into all the words in the world. This is a helpful image.
