Our next living room picnic, we’ll open a conversation exploring **things that move you beyond words**.

**It doesn’t have to be really big the way awe is BIG**. It could be small moments. It could be something you experience often, or rare and gem-like —experiences, places, objects, moments. people, anything. Heartbreakingly sad or magically transforming. Not that any of these are mutually exclusive. I’m already wondering how many variations of vibe and meaning we might find if we take the time.

And maybe it’s not that we’re being moved beyond words, maybe words aren’t the reference point and **we are just being where we are and the words recede leaving un-worded space where it always was**?

I want to take some time to talk about (hehe, with words!) the visceral, tactile, emotional, swirling inside, tingling, cellular happenings…and hang around the threshold, **where things become barely language-able** , the region in our mind-experiences where we’re losing words and, and, and…can’t quite…put words to what’s happening inside us.
