The power of words cannot be disputed. I am confident that they derive their power from how they connect us in community. They give voice to deep otherwise inexpressible feelings & thoughts. It does not matter if they are written, spoken or signed; words have the power to bind heart to heart. To write beautifully and to speak with passion that unite heart to heart is a treasured ability. The true power is not in the word, so much as they are in the hearer’s heart. The heart is the undiscovered country of vast plains and unseen beauty between your ears. Words force their way from heart to tongue or pen into the open space between yours and another’s ears & eyes looking from a place to populate. That place is their homestead in the human heart!
