"Kotodama" The Spirit of Words

Kotodama or The Spirit of Words speaks into the nature of our spoken language. They are as complicated as our own sense of self. They play a pivotal role in our lives. The mouth can be a weapon and words can be bullets, used in defense of others, or used to inflict damage. They can be strong. They can be beautiful. They can frighten, and intimidate, or they can be diplomatic to bring peace. Words can hide one's true intentions. Words ebb and flow like a tide. They are apart of who we are, but do we really understand them?
