Wisdom in Word by Sonia F Stevens Why is it that people fall in love with the cage?Why did you not love the bird?Many birds will live in a cage. The cage will be there always and wont fall in love with you.The bird in the cage lives and returns love. When the bird is gone only a cage remains.I enjoyed and loved the bird not the cage.When you live in a house .. You loved the house but it does not return that love. The people who live in that house made it their home. What is the house without people.I enjoyed the people in that house who made it a home.The house will be there long after the people, The memories of the home which people made are there, if you remember them.Words are words if they have no feeling behind them, so no matter how they are said. That is what is remembered with feeling.Words can be soft as a feather or gentle. Words can be sharp as a knife or as powerful as a explosion. It is how it is remembered. How they are felt at the time which were spoken.Wars were started with a word which was said in a certain way. Peace was established in the same way.How you choose to say or write your words, gives your feelings to them. Spelling and grammar are only a technically side of things. It is the feeling behind the word which is felt, and remembered. Many men have pondered on words but unless they have heard it when it was first said, translations are always not there, when disputed by others. Music is part of the soul and has a great power. It depends on the listener, the player, the writer, on how each note is read, played,written. It is the feeling of the musician which is being expressed who wrote the piece and sang the note. Others copy and cover the music. The one who wrote it, knows each expression which is to be expressed, others only interperate their way, not the the way of the one who established it first.
