Words

I woke from a dream of a beautiful word. I’m not sure what it was. Maybe it was something to eat . A special food or an ingredient in a recipie. A word I don’t remember now but a word that made me tingle with an intoxicating, euphoric sense. I could feel it from my head to my toes. I thought what word was it. Was it something to eat or a compliment?

What word could give me such a delirious feeling. I didn’t want to wake up from my dream like state. It made me think again how powerful words are. Maybe my dream was a message from God. Reminding me to always have beautiful thoughts and words coming from my mouth. The saying “ if you can’t say something nice say nothing at all.” To stop complaining and look for the good in every situation. We live in a world with lots of darkness but there is light. If we focus on the light and seek the brightness out and speak only the light , we will eventually penetrate the darkness . Like entering a dark room with a flashlight . One flashlight illuminates a small area. Yet several flashlights turned on in the same room will light up the entire space.

A single person that speaks words of light spreads the brilliance to those around them. And those around them began to give out words that sparkle until the repetition turns into a wildfire that illuminates the world. The darkness will be pushed out.

Words can heal, words can inspire , they can lift someone out of the mire. But words can hurt and words can kill.

What was that word? Where did it go? Perhaps I’ll dream again . And this time ,I will write it down.
