Blah blah blah
Words are phenomenal.
They are rich, lush, fragrant, shiny, hefty, weighty, corpulent, loaded, subtle flexible, shifty, deft, forceful – yet for all their obvious power, they can be muddy, murky, shady, fraught with innuendo and double entendre.
They make it all the more tempting to read between the lines, are found written on walls (how foreboding!). They’re as clear as day and as dark as night.
For all their strength, they can be fragile and seemingly everyone’s word can be so easily broken.
They are the most graceful and soft of things, and the harshest and cruelest of weapons. They are sweet, delicious, succulent and lusty - they are harsh, sharp, battering, brutal, malicious and cutting. They are rapier sharp and ethereal whispers.
Words mean something. Or they can mean nothing at all, mere gaps in between silences.
(This past week has been a powerful lesson in words…words in all their glorious paradox.)
