10 Years After

Do You Realize??

. . . [I]t is interesting to note that the English vocabulary that refers to spoken discourse is often the same as that used to describe cordage-making and weaving. One weaves a story, or unravels an incident, or spins a yarn. WEe follow the thread of a story and stitch together an excuse. Lies are made from whole cloth, reality is na endless golden braid. Does this shared vocabularly reflect an ancient connection between the intoxicating hemp plant and the intellectual processes that lay behind the discovery of the art of weaving and storytelling? I suggest that such may well be the case.
