Though we think, we speak using a different language, a language that we create using words.

They tell people that the language is sloppy and ask them not to risk a judge using those words to ban marriage as we know it.

Our words send out ripples all the time. Let them be ripples of love and compassion, not the opposite. A word can help or harm - "think first"

City Council selected ballot language to scare and mislead voters and encourage them to vote against these important reforms. That's illegal and undermines our democratic process. A fair and impartial election is the hallmark of democracy. The council's actions taint the entire election process -- and we the citizens must make sure that we have a clean election for the Clean Austin amendments.

These words that occur to me come out of my relation to the language which is developing even as I am using it.

I can feel the power of the words doing the work. Must trust language more.
