...do you sometimes feel it’s easier to write than to speak? I’ve always been like that, words can stop before they come out. I can think one thing, and suddenly when I try to say it out loud, it turns into something different. Not for me, but for the listener, who could be anyone I talk to really. And I guess it’s not just the listener who is a bad listener, but I can be a bad teller.
I’m not that good with words, I don’t trust I will be understood, and that alone can stop them before they get the chance to be spoken. Other times I have way too many words that probably shouldn’t been spoken… Anyone recognize this dilemma? (Maren, here)
Dear Maren.
Do I "RECOGNIZE" this dilemma?!?
I LIVE this dilemma!
A truly wise person uses few words;
a person with understanding is even-tempered. Proverbs 17:27
If you are silent, be silent out of love. If you speak, speak out of love. (Augustine)
If you are silent, be silent out of love. If you speak, speak out of love. (Augustine)
Oh! It's a puzzle! It took me a minute. Is that the light hitting it at the bottom, giving it a glow? Or is that a part of the artwork? Gorgeous effect.
ReplyDeleteToo few words here. I can overdo it, but usually I am a few words only and then stop. I am amazed at people who can keep going (War and Peace...what?? Or early morning talk shows...how do they DO that? That many words coming out is simply a superpower.)
:) I think it's a light glow. I hadn't even noticed it. I take a photo of puzzles we've finished to help us remember. (Put 'em in a facebook album.)
DeleteI like your last statement - that many words being simply a superpower! For SURE.
Oh, how I can relate, Rebecca!
