Words


By the hand of Mormon

Words can mean so much. Words can hurt and words can uplift.. but is that statement really true? Do they shape our reality? Language is a difficult thing to define. I think the scripture in D&C 50 is true, we can only really understand fully when we communicate with the Spirit. Interestingly though, speaking or writing my feelings, putting thoughts into words often helps me to feel them more...

If I read you correctly, you're gonig on a mission here soon? And I take it you're Mormon.
Just interesting, I've been a practicing Mormon for a few years.
