Words are what I do.

[azurelunatic]

Almost all my life, I've been able to rely on the idea that I'm able to come up with either the right words or some very good words for almost any situation.

In the past 48 or so hours, though, I've run into a situation. It's a situation where I know I am to do something. I have been given the charge of doing something. I must do something. It is my duty to do something, and even if it weren't my duty, I would have to do something.

I cannot find the words for it.

I am terrified.

when truly called to do something, i find that it is often just my place to put myself in the right place at the appropriate time and open my mouth (or grab the keyboard, or whatever), take a deep breath, and let the right words find their own way out on their own.

because i have been known for my own word-choices and phrasings and effective expressions of that sort, the first leap of faith like that terrified me. now it is a comfort, really.

And probably right around when you were saying that, I opened my mouth and then there they were.

Pride goeth hand in hand with despair, and I had to point this out. True vision, but incomplete vision. There was still room for faith and hope.

Actually, based on the timestamps, I was saying that about a half-hour earlier. Hee!
