the path of one thought

communication; the complex exchange between an individual with another, the dynamic between an individual and media, the dialogue between an individual and their maker. Communication occurs when the process of a thought becomes words and is given breath, life, and is spoken forth.

interpretation of a thought. that's where the complexity lies. when a thought is spoken, meaning is added-by intonation, expression, and perception. From the giver, the bringer of the word to the receiver, the interpretation of the word can go from the meaning that was intended to perception and intention that violates the bringers' thought.

And that's the passage of one thought. Imagine that one thought multiplied by thousands of thoughts-some spoken and some unspoken. Imagine the complexity, the joy and wonder and the hurt and destruction that can occur when thoughts on a path don't make the target.

We were given life, we were given reasoning skills, we were given the ability to communicate. When we don't communicate; we suffer. Those around us suffer. When we shut down and close up, we distance ourselves from the community of others.

The passage of one thought needs to be spoken as powerfully as lungs need air and the heart needs blood.

Communicating with God-constant and dynamic. Communicating with others-certain and sure. Despite miss interpretation. Amongst ignorance and humility. Surrounded by vulnerability and risk of rejection. Speak. Give. Struggle. Share.
