Words seem to be simultaneously the most powerful knowable force and at the same time, the most flippant.

Words convey love. Hatred. Connection. Disappointment. Joy. Information. 

They are the tiny roots of the tree of life. So integral, we don't often stop to give them a thought. Or consider the full weight and responsibility they hold. 

They are free and exorbitant at the same time. 

Unlike time, words can be bought. Distorted. Falsified. Misunderstood. 

Yet, the most powerful force for healing, clarification and reunification. 

The first step when admitting addiction is acknowledgement. Most of us are addicted to the sugary sweetness of a quick word, a shot across the bow, a careless bomb thrown.

Few are the words mulled and simmered, painstakingly edited and considered to reach something inside of us. To pull us into each other and out of ourselves. 

Few are those who seek the wisdom and wellness they endow.
