More Than Words

As you browse the books at your local bookstore, you notice numerous titles on “how to”, everything from fixing your computer to fixing yourself. The question we really have to ask is, can you really rely on a book to fix it all? Can we rely on words to heal, fix, or wash away the past, present, or future? It is something that I sat and pondered for a bit, trying to find words to express certain emotions or feelings that I just could not express. Words can only be the frosting of the whole cake if you will, the top of entire project. It is the actions and physical work that you put into something that makes it worth anything. The intricate details of the work in progress are so much more important that the words you can use to express how you’re going about it, or how you have gotten to where you are. It is showing how you got there that is the great reward. Sometimes, we all forget that we have to put a little “humph” behind our words, behind the speeches, behind the “I love you”, behind the past. It is easy to get lost or caught up in words, some of us find it hard to believe in words, some of us chose our words carefully and only say things that we truly feel. Talking is a wonderful form of expression, however, so is physical emotion or actual hard work. For some, that is more meaningful then a colorful phrase or a beautifully turned verse
