i don't think we take enough care with our words...or responsibility for them... both face-to-face and behind-the-back, we throw out words like worn out pennies...probably not worth a whole lot.
and yet...i'm starting to wonder if there's not a whole something else going on...on another level...that we blindly miss. i mean think of it...god's words spoke stars and planets and chickens and light into existence. we even acknowledge that words can "cut like a knife".
i'm left to wonder if...
words are material things (you know...like a solid, liquid or gas). vowels and consanants of substance...as in "real". perhaps that's a little "new age" for some, but for me...i'm starting to wonder what it looks like to heap on the blessings of encouragement both directly and indirectly. what does that look like with spiritual eyes? is it honey for a soul traveling miles to the recipient? or how about negatives...in person or to an entirely different audience (boo for gossip)??? what does that look like?? is it like a poisonous slime that stings and burns in the unseen places of the heart??
wish me a 'farewell' as i head off into "loony-land" again...but i'm starting to think that there's a "matter" in words...
hmm...
