Words...

Words...

are important
they are powerful
they encourage
they communicate
connect us to each other
they can uplift us
or bring us down
they empower or
discourage
they tell a story
leave impressions
make judgements
give hope
carry us
strengthen us
tear us down
so we can be built back stronger
overwhelm
they make history
they change us
they are part of our identity
they are felt deeply

Sometimes there are no words.

Heart and mind and soul feel so deeply that words are not enough.
Nothing can be said.
No words spoken can explain the feelings that overwhelm the heart and erupt into tears.

Those are important too.
Maybe even more important than the words.

The freedom to express those feelings, ahhh, that is openness, that is joy, that is genuine connection with someone.

When you don't need the words to communicate that's when you know you've got something.
