Hi, Joe -

DQ is indefinable and still knowable.

Vladimir Horowitz - who knew something about expression - once said in an interview, "Sound came before the word. Sound came *before* the word. So sound speaks by itself. It doesn't need any interpretation. It's like a painting - you look at the painting, and everyone sees something different ... That's why I don’t' read about music so much. You get lots of nice words, nicely written - but it didn't tell you anything!"

Here's his way of saying the same thing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1C3VfgmwbQ

He used to demonstrate what he meant to visitors to his house by making all kinds of non-verbal sounds, and pointing out that people *understood* what he meant without verbal cognition. It's like dancing. That's why Lila dances. "The Tao nourishes all things."
