Being the one on the giving end, I sometimes find myself at a loss for words, the right words, wanting what I say to have substance ... not just -- words. Fluff. But real and lasting substance. A message that will stick. A message that buries itself into the soul of the listener and elevates the mind, the spirit, their very will. Breath to a weakening flame.
Driving down the highway, thinking about what I wanted to say when I spoke to this person, I found myself repeating the words that once were shared with me. It was a moment that seemed to stand still. In a word? Powerful... like being the one to discover an ancient inscription on the walls of a cave. It was as if I were on the receiving end of those words once again, hearing them for the first time. Like hearing MUSIC for the first time. That big. Like a song that's been written just for me, its lyrics playing over and over in my mind.
Overcome with the memories, the gratitude ... I felt compelled to memorialize that moment. I had no choice. You just don't let these moments slip you by...
The Calm You Seek
