Words

I have stolen a quote from a friend by the name of Pendragon. I had to post it today.

"A word is not a crystal, transparent and unchanged; it is the skin of a living thought and may vary greatly in color and content according to the circumstances and time in which it is used." – Olive Wendell Holmes Jr.

Many of you who have read my blog will remember the night that I struggled over my mother's hard words and I quoted "Some words when spoken, can't be taken back" courtesy of Eddie Vedder. The quote above only lends validity to Vedder's lyric, as well as my feelings toward the spoken word.

Let this be a reminder today to choose our words wisely, for once a syllable is uttered, it can morph into a monster to those who hear it.

Happy Wednesday!!
