Conversation Is the Vehicle for Change Terry Tempest Williams

Conversation is the vehicle for change.

We test our ideas. We hear our own voice in a concert with another.

And inside those pauses of listening, we approach new territories of thought.

A good argument, call it a discussion, frees us. Words fly out of our mouths like threatened birds.

Once released, they may never return. If they do, they have chosen home and the bird-worms are calmed into an ars poetica.
