Your words are only as significant as the person who may or may not be there to listen to them, and to take note of them. Your words could be spoken aloud, but only become white noise in a sea of someone else's thoughts and interests. If you don't tell the right words to the right people, they travel in one ear and out the other, into the sea of other insignificant words that no one cared to listen to. These are the words lost in translation and that may never make it far enough into the airwaves to make much of a difference in anything. How many words are floating around us right now? Words that no one wanted to hear; words that hang in the air, like icicles? Beautiful, sparkling, and that melt on the tongue? And yet, we cannot see, cannot hear them. They are dead to us in the silence. They might be the most beautiful words we've never heard, waiting in the wings, ready to save us from ourselves. But our ears, they do not hear, and we are all deaf.
