More From Ursula K. Le Guin

Words stand between silence and silence: between the silence of things and the silence of our own being. between the silence of the world and the silence of god. when we have really met and known the world in silence, words do not separate us from the world nor from other men, nor from god, nor from ourselves because we no longer trust entirely in language to contain reality.

God has power to create, or destroy, make, or unmake at his pleasure, to give life, or send death, to judge all, and to be judged nor accountable to none: to raise low things, and to make high things low at his pleasure, and to god are both soul and body due. and the like power have kings; they make and unmake their subjects: they have power of raising, and casting down: of life, and of death: judges over all their subjects, and in all causes, and yet accountable to none but god only.
Kings Soul And Body Judging
Relationship is action, is it not? action has meaning only in relationship; without understanding relationship, action on any level will only breed conflict. the understanding of relationship is infinitely more important than the search for any plan of action. the ideology, the pattern for action, prevents action. action based on ideology hinders the understanding of relationship between man and man.

So mo began filling the silence with words. he lured them out of the pages as if they had only been waiting for his voice, words long and short, words sharp and soft, cooing, purring words. they danced through the room, painting stained glass pictures, tickling the skin. even when meggie nodded off she could still hear them, although mo had closed the book long ago. words that explained the world to her, its dark side and its light side, words that built a wall to keep out bad dreams. and not a single bad dream came over that wall for the rest of the night.

It is no secret. all power is one in source and end, i think. years and distances, stars and candles, water and wind and wizardry, the craft in a man's hand and the wisdom in a tree's root: they all arise together. my name, and yours, and the true name of the sun, or a spring of water, or an unborn child, all are syllables of the great word that is very slowly spoken by the shining of the stars. there is no other power. no other name.

The late '60s and the '70s, a lot of this really beautiful equipment was being made and installed into studios around the world and the neve boards were considered like the cadillacs of recording consoles. they're these really big, behemoth-looking recording desks; they kind of look like they're from the enterprise in star trek or something like that. they're like a grayish color, sort of like an old army tank with lots of knobs, and to any studio geek or gear enthusiast it's like the coolest toy in the world.
