what would you do if i took those words away?

my friend just sent me some music that he wrote a while ago. it's only the music; a few chords thrown together; vary, and repeat.

there are no words to go with it.

and it strikes me that sometimes, you do not need the words. for all the emphasis we put on communication through speech, writing, and print, there are things that you just can't express with words,
some feelings, thoughts, experiences, moments where words are just inadequate, almost ridiculous in their inability to do justice to the immensity of the moment.

sometimes, all you have to do is sit and listen,
or take someone's hand,
or run around the backyard a few times,
scream with the wind,
close your eyes,
dance in the rain,
soak up the sun,
open your heart,
capture a smile,
remember a laugh,

and just be silent.

because sometimes, it's more than words could ever say.
