#20: Just Words
«I can’t find the right word. It’s so hard to put into words what is going on in my mind.» So what?
Just words.
Words are helpful. Not essential.
Being right. That is when words have the power to heal all wounds.
Wrongly chosen, they cause harm.
Is an experience not put into words still an experience?
Welcome to magic.
Beyond words.
Steve Chapman talks about the wonderful world beyond words in this truly inspirational talk:
«When words run out, you have arrived on the edge of magic.»
How beautiful is that? How insightful even?
Lots of us struggle with silence. This is different, though. It is not about shutting up. Not just holding back another avalanche of words. Different from not finding the right word. There is just nothing to be said. Magical!
This feels like a Look, See, Be, Fly! moment to me as I experienced the state of FLYing as word-free.
Next time. Don’t look for the word. Aim for the edge.
That is where the magic happens.
Just words.
