Words ...

Words are powerful things. They change lives, alter perspectives. Sometimes for better, sometimes for worse. Sometimes it's best not to use them at all. Keep them locked away inside. Words initiate, demonstrate, prohibit, release. Words destroy and create. They can change everything and nothing all at once. Some things that need to be said, should never be said at all. Words begin wars and bring about peace. One word can mean so much, bring happiness, contentment or terror and loss.

Each of us holds that power in our tongues, or fingers. Yet, sometimes we are too afraid to use the words we really want to. How can such little things do so much? Would the world be a better place, if we really said the things we wanted say?
