Its funny how words get in the way of what we want to say.
The spoken word only communicates so much.
Its easy to speak of tangible things. The chair is green. The book is heavy. Drive to the store. Subjects, nouns, verbs, adjectives. They seem to fall short though when talking about certain things. Fear, love, hope, stuggles, desires, feelings...
I fear that my words do more harm and less good than I would want for my life.
"When the fish is caught, the net is forgoten. When the animal is caught the snare is forgoten. When the idea is caught, the words are forgoten. Show me the man who has forgoten the words. He is the one with whom I wish to speak."
