The most meaningful words are those not spoken or inscribed

You must have had one experience in a lifetime that made you speechless, completely lost for words, at that moment you experience shock and at the same time admiration.

These are experiences we relive over and over again, a memory you never want to lose sight of. It could be a book, a scenery or a picture worth a thousand words, but you could feel the connection that buds through your mind that you are certain words would not be able to express well enough.

It is then clear, that words are not the only thing that connects humans, there are over thousands of different ways we have sought a connection, either through art, community, lifestyle, or religion.

To what end though?, why do we all seek a connection to something (living or nonliving), I guess life is really more on that meaningful connection than it is about a mark.

The beauty of life is the diversity that comes with each experience. Words are powerful but they have their limitation and it is necessary for one to combine a multiple of experiences to better understand their primal mode of expression, if it is writing.

It gives a form of perspective to what we try to express, and the more receptive we are to other modes of expression, the better we are at clearly defining it the way we connect. An artist is a better art writer, if he sees from a writer's point of view rather than just pencils and brushes.

Here is a simple reminder to explore the many facets of connecting with the world, you see better, you understand more.
