More Sesa Sensiblity

I was talking to my daughter Sarah and she said that a sesa actually means something like: a hill standing out in the middle of somewhere. But when you think about it there is sense to that because actually that is about what a sesa is. It is a big clump type hill (but really big) that rises up from the flat desert and there it is. I think that is one thing I really like about the Navajo language (I really don't know much about it so don't get the idea that I am some kind of linguist.) The Navajo language is descriptive. Even the fun names they give people are descriptive i.e. my brother in law John is Bushy Beard and he has a bushy beard. How descriptive is that? Sometimes it seems like when we talk in English we can be vague and we get the wrong meaning when someone talks. Some of our words sound alike and mean two different things. Like boar, bore and bore. Boar - a big male pig; bore - making someone feel uninterested or (how does one describe boring?) and bore - making a hole in something. I also like the clarity factor of a language like Navajo. I have sometimes heard the statement: Say what you mean and mean what you say. Sounds like that is what the Navajo language does. I think I will have to learn some more about it. At this point all I know about it amounts to a couple rocks out in the middle of nowhere doing nothing. Sometimes it seems that is a good description for many things I think I know about. I need to pile up more rocks.
