I believe she is referring the "untethered word"
to the world where things are abstract...disconnected and detached,
instead of the embodied...physical, in the bloodstream and heartbeat of
a human life with all the senses activated.
It's pertinent for me because I know my tendency is to
lean toward the abstract...buffering myself from
the overwhelm of feelings.
It's a coping mechanism that has its benefits.
In the end, though, words that nudge us into the real...
"nestled into the fabric of being"
are an invitation to experience real life
in all its wonder and delight and enchantment.
That's the place I'd prefer my body and my words inhabit.
The phrase, with every fiber of my being, comes to mind.
Namaste'
