Words

Baby Gator
of
Lake Tarpon

Mornin Monday
Sure is good to see the sun
after the Thunder Beings
and
cleansing rains of last evening!

Just a thought:

Sometimes even the most powerful of words
seem lost in the pictures and
actions of others don't they?

I think of some of the great photos I've been able to capture and enjoy sharing here
and
of the sights AND people watching that I so enjoy...
AND
it reminds me that even as much as I love words
their power
and intention behind them
often
it is so true
"a picture is worth a thousand words"
and
I can't help but be reminded
that sometimes
our daily movements
are misinterpreted by others
as we move into our days
depending on what we have on our minds
at the time.
Those movements
can be seen as
"flighty", "angry", "giddy", sassy"
or just plain out
"silly"
but oh for the love of words
even if at times they may
wound
they may be found to be
powerful and sharp like a knife
or harsh
they also can carry profound healing
and messages of love and wonderment
just a photograph
that takes your breath away
or
makes you think
"oh my"
like that baby
gator,
just knowing
if there is a baby gator
just laying there
in the canal's edge
there must be a big ole Mama Gator
somewhere nearby!
OH MY GOODNESS!
"Words mean more than what is set down on paper. It takes the human voice to infuse them with deeper meaning." Maya Angelou

So then,beauty
is all around us
whether the swimming ones, the winged ones
the four leggeds
and
two leggeds
and
if we approach it and all in the circle with
great respect, tenderness and
admiration
we can all just get along real fine!
The music is there for you
but
you must find your own steps
for the dance
and be willing
to risk the steps involved
and
with that said
this day
enough said!

Enjoy this day,
embrace it
dance on friends
and notice
that words are powerful
as are actions
as
are the photos of your minds' eye
Enjoy!

Brilliant doc. Keeps us on our toes. I get the connections. Words have power. Words can lift, enlighten, crush, warm or chill. Words from the heart are valued most. As Always, keep writing Dr. Showalter. I love this sacred space. A quiet time to ponder your words, to respond as many do. Thank You form my heart.
