The Primacy of Language
Language does not describe the world. It generates it.
We are taught that language labels a world that is already there. The tradition turns this around: language is the generative force through which worlds come into being. Word first, then world. We live inside stories we author, mostly without realizing we are the authors.
This is not mysticism, it is leverage. If your situation is constituted in language, then it can be reconstituted in language, through the conversations you are willing to have.
