    We still use language to point toward that reality which is prior to language, and all our conceptualizations (useful as they are), and which also includes us even in our activity of conceptualizing. Call that the “elicitive” use of language, rather than descriptive or propositional uses—basically, your elicitive use here. Lots of confusion results when elicitive language (often poetic and paradoxical) is taken as propositional language.

    Think of the metaphysical confusions, too, when “is” becomes “is-ness”…
