From medieval visions to modern philosophy, this talk traces how Julian of Norwich, Simone Weil, and Ludwig Wittgenstein each confronted the limits of what words can do. Each wrestles with the same paradox: that words reach toward truths they cannot contain. For them, speech becomes a gesture of love, an act of attention, humility, and grace rather than control. 

Together they ask: what happens when we stop using language to control, and start using it to listen? This lecture explores a philosophy of the unsayable — where love, not logic, becomes the ground of understanding.
