I Have No Words

I was looking for a card with the “right words” yesterday.  I looked and I looked and I looked.

Then it hit me!

Maybe there are occasions when there are no “right words”.

Times in our lives that are so profound they go beyond mere words.

Times when the emotion is far bigger than simple words can convey.

Times that are beyond description.

I have no words to express how devastating this moment is.

I have no words for how wrong and unjust it all feels.

I have no words that come close to offering comfort.

I have no words to let you know how much I want to fix this.

I have no words to express my concern.

I have no words

I have no words.

Is that the point?

Something can be so poignant, significant, distressing that there are no words for my emotions.

Do I offer more comfort by acknowledging this situation is beyond description than to simply write a few classic phrases.

To honestly admit I truly have no words.

it’s not the way you speak that matters but what matters is the truth that is spoken in the way your heart beats or the way your heart opens to let another in for keeps

When you have no words listen to the broken hearted, listen to those in despair, listen to the softly weeping or the wildly inconsolable for their pain needs to be heard

When you have no words remember that courage is an unspoken language that unites the strong with the weak

Quite simply the card reads
