Sticks and stones...

I love words. I love reading them and listening to them and singing them in a song (usually in the bathroom). Words dig deep. They make me cry and laugh with the same intensity. They keep me company in the dead of night while I suffer insomnia and they take me to sleep on a long, tired day. Words are to my soul what air is to my lungs. I generally don't talk much, or at least I hope I don't. But I honestly believe I would die in a silent world. In a world with no words. To me that's a world without emotion. So one long tired day last week, this song woke me up. A million songs had played but this song, brought something to life in me. It was my kindred spirit. I have listened to many, many strange songs in my past but this was the one that has made me happiest. (Well, this and home town glory- Adele, Jars of Hearts- Christina Perri and Gravity- John Mayer.)I may the only one who loves this song so much that I spent minutes of my hard earned time googling it. But, like the saying goes, "It's all sticks and stones baby, just sticks and stones." :-)
