All in Words
On speaking up
When it becomes too scary to not speak
When there is much on the line
When others don’t have a place for it
Please speak up anyway
On dropping the qualifier
What happens when you put a qualifier in front of something
It means it’s not typical
Unusual
Not normal
On where the truth comes from
Others will speak words about you
Try to tell you who you are
On gratitude
When you stop
Notice
And sit with thankfulness
Drink it in
You become more thankful
On profiles
I’m not dwindling myself down to labels
I can’t be described in 3 words
On endings
Thank God something ended
To give way to this
On being a train wreck
I’m not a train wreck
I just had a train wreck moment
And only had myself to tell
On grace with truth
What if we loved deeply
Grew a relationship
Like a garden
And there
Sprinkled truth
On the power of words
Words have power
And we perhaps never think of the power of words less
Than when we think to and of ourselves
