Right now, say this out loud:
HONEY, COME QUICK!?!
because it's another
SPECIAL OFFER
from www.TheWordless.com

TheWordless will break a rule right out of the chute by showing you the
SPECIAL OFFER
RIGHT AWAY:

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
SPECIAL OFFER:
If you will carry a flag bearing The Wordless to the top of Mount Everest,
and there take your picture with the flag,
and then send that picture to silent@wordless.us, I will
MAKE YOU FAMOUS
(at least insofar as posting your photo at http://www.thewordless.com/ can make you famous,)
AND
I will link that photo to your favorite website. (see disclaimer)

WHAT THE HECK
Carry The Wordless flag to the top of any mountain and this special offer will apply.
And since I can't supply Wordless flags yet, you can just wear a Wordless t-shirt, or a Wordless hat, or just hold up a Wordless postcard for the camera to see, or most especially, display your RockWacker.

AW, SHUCKS, TODAY ONLY

I must be crazy. Take a picture of any Wordless anywhere and I will honor the special offer, with photos of the critterthong given top priority. (see disclaimer)
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
AND YES, THERE'S STILL MORE
If you are an artist of any stripe other than writer, incorporate The Wordless image in any painting, sculpture, or etcetera, and you will earn
MY UNDYING DEVOTION
as well as a photo and a link.
Now there's an offer not everyone will make!?!

That's enough special offer for now. If you want to occasionally receive special offers from The Wordless, when you go to www.TheWordless.com click the email link and say so. If not, do nothing, which is a policy almost as good as saying nothing.

Disclaimer: If I don't like your art or your picture, I won't use it. If I don't like your link, I won't use it. If you do not find enlightenment, you will have to PROVE IT. Then I'll refund your wasted darkness. In order to prove your failure to find enlightenment you will have to appear before a jury of experts and present your evidence. I am the most important juror and I happen to know that you are already enlightened, you just don't know it. Any request for a refund will be taken as proof of enlightenment.

Right now, say this out loud:
HEY, WAIT A DOGGONE MINUTE!?!
THAT'S THE SAME
SPECIAL OFFER
THAT CAME LAST TIME!

Well, OK. But this time maybe TheWordless will pretend to
SELL YOU STUFF,
because since
MONEY DOES NOT MATTER
when you learn how to
SEND SOME HERE
you will
JUST DO IT.

But first you should learn about TheWordless'
IRONCLAD GUARANTEE:

If you buy stuff from TheWordless,
you will always enjoy
POSITIVELY GLACIAL
SERVICE AND RESPONSE
Glacial means:
COLD, and
SLOW.
The same principle applies if you write an email to silent@wordless.us expecting a reply or subscribing to the uninformative, baffling, frustrating, and pointless releases that come out whenever geological time takes a tick.

Won't that be refreshing after all the businesses that fall all over themselves to promise prompt service, good value, and a caring, attentive, fawning, graceless, undignified, humiliating approach to
YOU!?!

For example, if you decide to
BUY A RockWacker,
the process will begin with a
POSITIVELY EXCRUCIATING
qualification and negotiation period. Hell, the conclusion may be that we need to grow a special tree just for you, and you'll have to pay a premium to take delivery in twenty years.

Well, what would you expect, from a product with a
3,000 YEAR GUARANTEE!?!
and other fascinating features.

That is, only if you endure the embarassing and invasive collaborative design process, which demands that you reveal such things as
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT YOUR MOTHER?
In fact, just to get warmed up, answer that one right now in 10,000 words or more and email the result to silent@wordless.us.

Also, under no circumstances will the price be as marked. That's a matter for discussion, which must be conducted without words, which will take everyone til their next birthday.

On the other hand,
CAFE PRESS
could not be enrolled in the lousy slow service ethic, but they make up for it by being
OVERPRICED,
so you can be assured that, even though your product arrives promptly, you paid too much and TheWordless didn't make squat.

Except for the
40% HERO SHIRT.
Order a dozen each week Sign up for updates from TheWordless by emailing silent@wordless.us, and you'll hear right away when Cafe Press allows sale of a 100% Hero Shirt.

EXPERT TESTIMONY:

"Humanity has suffered wars, famine, depression, death and destruction that have stemmed in large part from the improper comprehension and use of our words."
Mary Cox Garner http://www.hiddensoulsofwords.com/

"I found I had less and less to say, until finally I became silent, and began to listen. I discovered in the silence, the voice of God."
Soren Kierkegard

"Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul
And sings the tune without the words
And never stops--at all."
Emily Dickinson

"Silence is the great teacher, and to learn its lessons you must pay attention to it. There is no substitute for the creative inspiration, knowledge, and stability that come from knowing how to contact your core of inner silence. The great Sufi poet Rumi wrote, 'Only let the moving waters calm down, and the sun and moon will be reflected on the surface of your being."'
Deepak Chopra

"There are times when silence has the loudest voice."
Leroy Brownlow

"True silence is the rest of the mind; it is to the spirit what sleep is to the body, nourishment and refreshment."
William Penn

"Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise."
Proverbs 17:28

Those last several were found on http://successnet.org/home.htm

"When we talk about art, the words take us away from the art. Words deny us the art. Words distract, negate, and confound the feelings of what the art was meant to communicate. The simplest definition of art, one that covers all the arts, equally applying to any art, of any time period, medium, or culture, is: art is communication. Though, this definition, in its simplicity, is deceptive and insufficient. Words communicate, but are not in themselves art. Newspapers communicate, but reportage is not art. Art is communicating without words or what words cannot communicate. Even in poetry or prose, the art of it is in what is unspoken, that which is implied or inferred in the writing. It is in the feelings one lifts from the meaning. Art is what is painted in language, or drawn with color, or sculpted in clay, or voiced with music. Art is also in the act of viewing, listening, and reading. The beholder has the obligation to make an art of gleaning from the page of words, or paint, or stone the emotions and ideas we have no words for in language, to understand the work intuitively, as well as intellectually.
Talking about art is absurd and superfluous. (The irony of that statement is not lost.) If the art needs explaining, then it is not communicating. If the artwork needs a written clarification, then why not just write an essay? Say it well with words and the artwork is unnecessary. Art is for expressing feelings and notions that words can barely approximate.
This is why talking about art (and most artists' statements) leaves me baffled, disturbed, and lost in a cyclone of disconnected meaninglessness. Talking about art depreciates it. In today's world of misinformation, miscommunication, and the overload of messages from advertising, radio, TV, news, etc., it seems some silence would be beneficial. Silence to help us touch what we have been missing because of all the chatter.
Maybe it is time to be . . .
. . . in silence with art."

COMMENTS FROM VISITORS:

I guess there is a balance somewhere because if we make ourselves too inaccessible, we leave ourselves difficult to interact with except on some metaphysically obtuse level.
The Monkess from http://www.dailyzen.com/

We want explanation not exploration; direction not discovery.

I'm puzzled, curious, confused, and intrigued with your site.

I went to your website to find out what "Wordless" is about. Amusing website...but I still don't understand the wordless principle. If you are allowed to use them, could I get a few simple words of explanation about "Wordless"?
