I came across some amazingly perfect words today… kids kid, lovers love and a writer writes. So simple so true. Words have a way about them. Of saying much or saying absolutely nothing. Getting them together and stringing them together in a way that just expresses a feeling is the most precious thing. It’s the best high. Saying what you mean.
It shouldn’t really be so difficult. I got lost in trying to do other things other than simply saying what I mean. I want to impress, I want to show my skill as a wordsmith, I want to sound intelligent to say or do something different. I want to put ideas together in a way that will make another gasp in amazement and have their life totally transformed. I get so caught up in all my little agendas that I forget the perfection in just saying what I mean. I get so caught up that I don’t even know what I mean to say.
Saying what you mean. Painters paint and singers sing. Dreamers dream and teachers teach. But what is taught does not come from the outside. It is more about lighting that inner spark. Sending the person inside so that they can find their inner truth and find a channel to express it. And the best way to do this is to do this too.
A timely reminder.
Be who you are. Do what you do. Say what you mean.
Always.
