Imperfect Speech

Often we fail to measure the words we employ or take the time to consider their ultimate impact. We have all experienced the sick feeling when we have said something we would give anything to have back; unfortunately we cannot un-ring a bell. Conversely there are the times when we have failed to speak up and then rehearse when alone what we wish we should have said, extending the discomfort of our inaction.

Words carry impact, reverberating with life far beyond the moment of their utterance. Fierce resentments have been born from seemingly casual remarks, birthed from what we felt was innocuous. Fortunately the converse is true as well, our words spreading out to provide hope and solace far beyond our limited understanding.

Having chosen to live on a new basis, the Spiritual Basis, we speak from the heart, delivering the truth to the best of our current understanding, with the lightness of a feather. Our goal to always be of service, to stand for truth, to help and never harm, but realizing we all fall far short of perfection in speech, this lack of perfection leading ultimately to growth, greater understanding, for such is the path of the Spiritual Warrior.
