when I speak smoothly
and bring you
armfuls
of smiling word bouquets
what I say
is not as important
as what the spaces
between words
tell you
when I stammer
when I speak smoothly
and bring you
armfuls
of smiling word bouquets
what I say
is not as important
as what the spaces
between words
tell you
when I stammer

Very beautiful.
Danny–thank you so much.

Ahhh… Yes. That stammer that means… You know…
I know I am in “trouble” so to speak when someone makes me stammer. Does not happen often.
Oh Susan, you are trailblazing hot this week. Love
Thanks, Boomie! Yeah, don’t know what’s up with it, but am loving it
Sometimes the stammering can awaken the other party to pay closer attention but, I understand the fear & trembling to speak out.
the power of the unspoken and the deeply layered syntax of NVCs! well said!
Yes. And thanking you…
I like that space between words, I even like that we don’t even need words to express the deepest part of ourselves. Thanks for this!
You are most welcome.
This is good one.
Thanks, Celestine–it is rare I am at a loss for words
