The spoken word
is pure energy
and therefore
it cannot die
once uttered
it cannot
be taken back
for energy
can be altered
but never
can it be
destroyed
take care
in what you say
your words are like
never-ending ripples
on the great
Sea of Life

Oh Linda, truer words were never spoken more eloquently! I am forwarding this on to my friend, Coco. He calls me 'Mouth' and he'll just love this.  

Hugs for peace ... Marti

Marti ~

Coco calls you "Mouth"?!? On thinking it through, I understand. You speak your mind, you speak the truth, you speak of love, you speak of beauty, you speak of compassion, you speak words of wisdom, you speak words of compassion, you speak of life and death and humor and joy and sadness and nature and .... Yep! He's right! You're the Mouth!



One's gotta love ya!

Earth Angel...I loved what you have written here.  It's very hard to make a spiritual concept sound appetizing; but you have done so with this poem. You have made a deep spiritual principle so much more simple and beautiful. Thank you...***Ivy Rose

I truly believe in what I have written and try to be cognizant of this truth whenever I speak. Like you, I try not to be drawn into verbally (and otherwise!) combative situations. I cool down, then hopefully speak when my mind is thoughtfully engaged!

Love & Light,
Linda

Linda, LOL!!! I'm not sure that your 'very nice complimentary words'  of me are what Coco had in mind. But I will be sure he reads your reply.  

Thank you ...  Marti
