These Sunday Rabbit Wholes are my Alice in Wonderland wanderings into wormholes.

Expression rather than Exposition - the difference being dynamic pushing out of internal feeling and mind translated into words versus narrative of beliefs or “position” which implies a static placement of ideas.

“Position” combines the word forming elements “apo” meaning “from, away from; separate, free from” and “site” which is directly from Latin situs "a place, situation, location, station”. Oddly this Latin word “situs” also carries these definitions: “idleness, sloth, inactivity; forgetfulness; the effects of neglect", and comes from the past participle of sinere "let, leave alone, permit".

THAT apparently from PIE (Proto Indo-European) *si-tu-, from root *tkei- "to settle, dwell, be home".

All to say that a “position” could be interpreted as allowing a separate “place” relative to the whole to be a settled “home”.

Climbing back out of that rabbit hole now….
