Go to another country and fall in love with someone who doesn’t speak your language.

Then you realize words are just words.

We use them carelessly, wrecklessly, and far too often. We toss words around like rice but whether they fall on deaf ears or pierce souls, we can’t be sure. Once spoken, we relinquish control.

Once they slither from our tongues, they become like mist- impossible to catch, form, or direct.

Like moments and bullets, once out there, words can’t be retrieved.

So communicate with body language, feeling, energies, but use words only when necessary. So much pain and misunderstanding could be skirted if we used less words.
