words
can sign a death warrant
can scorch a mind
be trite like empty wind chimes
aim to destroy the spirit
land a spell on someone
who lives miles away
powerful they may be
but actions are more important

  2. Someone important once mentioned something about being frugal in words and generous in action. Or something like that.

    I love that you cover the diverse ways words can be used and then come back to remind us that action still speaks louder.

  3. Wisdom is perceived in silence, but a few wise words can calm a storm.

  5. I agree, what someone says can seem very powerful, but if actions don't follow, it's all just a voice wasted on a breeze.
