A snowflake falls but once; the product of all the specific environmental factors being simultaneously present. Are our words any different? Like a snowflake a word is always formed of specific pieces and, though snow always looks like snow and a word looks like a word, each flake is uniquely different as is every word. The context of a spoken word and its subsequent perception by those that hear it has potentially as many different meanings as snowflakes do structures. Choose not, your words lightly, for they fall but once. Never will a recreation or recitation be as powerful as when delivered from its source. I watched my son take his first breath and with that breath, announce to the universe his arrival. No video recording, recollection or recitation of that moment will ever be sufficient to measure its profundity. When we speak we birth ideas, inspire action, and create enormous space and capacity for change. WHAT you speak will guide those ideas, direct those actions, and actualize those changes. I choose to seek those that speak well; that speak kindness, inspiration, love, and fellowship.
