Lately I am uncapable of an original thought. I am unable to articulate how I'm feeling without referencing a song lyric or a passage from a favorite book. I can't find my words. I alternate between relief and terror at the idea of not being able to communicate. I wish I could take a vow of silence until the words return but I can't--I'm in sales.
This has happened before but not since I decided to start editing my words. It was time to "get along" with the world and so I had to dial the words back a bit. Words are powerful and they can hurt. I like to hurt with words. It makes me feel powerful. Nothing can stop someone right in their tracks quite like a few well chosen words...
