The Power of Words

Today I am thinking about the power of words. In my Wednesday Art class we read daily from Julia Cameron’s “The Artist’s Way”.  Here is a quote that has moved me: “I wish I could take language and fold it like cool, moist rags. I would lay words on your forehead.  I would wrap words on your wrists.  “There there,” my words would say—“Hush and “Shh,shhh, its all right.” I would ask them to hold you all night. I wish I could take language and daub and soothe and cool where fever blisters and burns, where fever turns yourself against you. I wish I could take language and heal the words that were the wounds you have no names for.”

There is not one thing I could say to add meaning or value to that.  Simply Lovely!!!!!!!!!
