My Thought of the Day

There are things that are better left unsaid. Hurtful criticism, painful observations, rude sharp words that cut like knives need to stay hidden. Before you send out syllables that can never be taken back....breath for a minute. Those words will hopefully soften and dim and round out to something that doesn't break a heart or a spirit. Words are unseen, but their sound can reverberate for days, months and years. They hang in the air like pieces of ash that slowly float and adhere to walls, clothes and lives. Be very careful with your words. The tongue is a deadly sword.
