The Sound of Words

Words.

They are the perfect examples for the adage, Big things come in small packages!

Almost elfin in existence but colossal in significance. Surprising then, that we take words so much for granted…so often…and so easily.

We take them for granted to such an extent, that we fail to acknowledge the inimitable role they play in our life. A role so noteworthy, that were it not for words, our thought would have been nothing more than the sound of silence. Abandoned…mute. Words lend it the voice it speaks in and the language it communicates in.

How? You may ask. Well…Can you ‘think’ without words? What shape or form do your thoughts take if not as words? Think…but without the aid of words. Dauntingly…incapacitating ain’t it??

Humans and Communication, go back a long way. And it’s in this fabric of our strong history together, that words are essentially inter-woven.

They are empowering, ever-lasting connectors that bring us together & link us… bit by bit…word-by-word.

Words build conversations and conversations build bonds. We are what we are because of the words we share…with ourselves or with others… in silence or in clamor.

Without words we’d feel isolated and it threatens our fair-chance to hear, what life around us communicates.

Drawing upon one of may favorite lines from the movie, Crash, which goes something like this –

…We miss that touch so much that we crash into each other just so we may feel something...

I’d conclude this post by saying -

(Sometimes) We miss that sound of words so much that we squabble with each other just so we may hear something.
