the Word

'The Spirit of the Word'
by Jean-Bertrand Aristide

"In the beginning
there was the Word
and the Word was with God"
(John 1)

I was researching African Amulets and came across a thesis about language and the origin of words.
Jean-Bertrand Aristide compares the language of the African IsiZulu to that of the Haitian Kreyol. The two places are, as he describes them, "So close and yet so far" from each other, and yet have much in common.

Regarding life in general, noone really knows the original source for what we know, from where it came and who influenced who. Places that exist in oblivion to the rest of the world still share, nevertheless, similar fears, wisdom and spirituality, even though they give them different names.

To those interested in the theology and spiritualism of language, you may find this article as interesting as I did. Follow the link in the title above for the original thesis by J.B.Aristide.
