What do we know? How do we know it? Today we went to a semi-private catholic baptism. The whole time I was thinking about how we communicate. In "live" human communication, body language and tone carry much of the message. The words we speak play a small part of the message. Much of the time, I process "what someone says" through "who the person is". Things said, that seem out of sorts, are colored by the body language and tone of the speaker. What does this mean for the printed page? scripture? poetry? theology? It means something.
