Placental Language, Soundage and Love-Listening

This is the first of three essays that form a key part in understanding what I am calling Placental Language. And how to listen for it in the sound-language that existed before the word. Each essay can be read alone. Together they move like a spiral: returning, deepening, carrying more each time.

Abstract

This is the first of three essays that form a key part in understanding what I am calling Placental Language. And how to listen for it in the sound-language that existed before the word. Each essay can be read alone. Together they move like a spiral: returning, deepening, carrying more each time.
