What can I say that has not been said before
My words will just add to a crowd of words…
Wishes, greetings, quotes, compliments
Words for change, words of action, words with feelings, hollow words, novel ideas, recycled words..
Perhaps words to let people know “I am here”, I exist, I matter
Words to oblige, greet, compliment, in turn expecting the same..words are like give and take..trading feel good words
Words making statements, words displaying power
Loud words full of knowledge or silent words full of wisdom..
Words masking truth or displaying truth
What a waste to say something more, adding to this jumble….

Or is there a pattern?
Words connecting people, even in their isolations at home
Words that hug
Words that tickle
Words that soothe
Words that sometimes heal
My words resonating with yours sometimes into a beautiful harmony

Words that create stories, with a life of their own
Words artistically expressed, pouring beauty into the world
Words of courage, speaking out for many who can’t themselves
Words in search of truth, unmasking mysteries of life
It would be a waste not to try and make our words matter.
Wishing that your words matter
Wishing that your silence matters, which conveys so much on its own
Wishing that your tears matter, and so your laughter
As we start another year, of uncertainty and despair
May we find hope in the fact that
Distancing can’t disconnect ; And words can’t infect...
