One Word

It's the last few hours of January 3rd, and I'm mostly just thinking about what a difference one word can make. And it sometimes doesn't even matter what that one word is. The power of words is great and, too often, unnoticed. It sometimes seems that the power of words isn't carried by many people- but many can quickly identify people who understand how words affect someone. Martin Luther King Jr, J. R. R. Tolkien- many other great speakers and writers. And it doesn't matter how much they say, either. There are many other examples, but- I'm not going to provide the ones I think of. You, dear reader, can- or should- think of more, that are more important to you.
