The utterance of Heidegger ”language is the house of being“ can be reformulated ”language is the house of reality“. The understandable reality and the language of understanding are inseparable. In addition to that, reality is inseparable from our purposes, aspirations and senses. We are creating the reality where we are reborn over and over, i.e. it creates us. It is a creation together in two senses: we are creating together with other participants of the reality in a linguistic environ¬ment. Hence, reality, language and coexistence frame our creative environment as the house of being.
