Preface: The past week was somewhat stressful to me, culminating in a weekend that was PROFOUNDLY stressful. To say that getting a teenager ready for his first day in high school on modest funds is a challenge is BEYOND an understatement. The stress was not necessarily due to bad things going on, just too MANY things at one time, and not enough time to do it all. This is, needless to say, my quite valid excuse for being temporarily unfaithful to my commitment to the 365 Day Project.
I have had moments here and there over the past few days where I perhaps COULD have written something, but was simply too exhausted to try. I felt too drained to come up with anything creative, valid, significant, etc., much less come up with an accompanying image. Contemplating this dilemma led to the following internal dialog on the subject of significance. Since I felt the ‘significance’ of the subsequent revelation was…uh…significant, I hereby take the lazy way out and make this interesting internal dialog today’s post:
“There’s nothing to say.”
“There’s ALWAYS something to say.”
“No. There’s NOT. Really.”
“Then why are you still talking?”
“Okay, I mean I’ve nothing SIGNIFICANT to say.”
“EVERYthing you say is significant.”
“Huh?”
“Words have creative power. They create pictures in the mind, they stir emotions. They can validate or destroy. Words create our realities and contribute greatly to the realities of others. You KNOW this.”
“Wonderful. So now I’m reminded that it’s really that much MORE important that I say something significant.”
“EVERYthing you say is significant.”
“What if I just don’t FEEL like saying ANYthing at all?”
“The voice of silence can be louder than words.
Silence is significant.
Everything is significant.
Sometimes, what you HEAR when there’s nothing to hear is even more significant that what hasn’t been said.
Sometimes, even nothing is significant.”
Look closely at today’s image. There’s something very ‘significant’ in the picture that can be easily overlooked. Do you see it?
