"Words are alive! Written or spoken, words have a spirit, an essence, a cadence that bops and could sway. Words have the power to emotionally move us, to uplift and destroy us. Words contain spirits, or in some sense, words are spirits, almost like music. We live by their meanings every day. We use the meaning of words as our moral compass to navigate the world. We speak words into existence every day, including the things we say or don't say, the double talk of politicians, the slick talk of womanizers, and the cunning talk of corporations. A void of these spirits could alarm a room because words are so powerful that even silence speaks volumes." Me
