outside of society

[barbara nagler <birena>]

     To me "outside of society" is just the state of ecstasy where
everything goes liquid, fiery, mutable and beyond words.  And yes we all
wanna be there more often.  

    Language itself (all the separate languages) are so much of their
culture, their society; and that goes for all symbolic languages that can
only be read by members of one society or another-- that I feel that
outside of society has to get beyond words.  I guess this is a radical
definition of it.  It does make it accessible to anyone, and all
accessible to all.  I'm not comfortable otherwise calling something
"outside" when everything in a society, even the apparent outcasts, is so
interdependent and so much mirroring everything else whether the
reflections are accepted or reviled.
