Louder Than Words

We’ve (well most of us) have heard the cliché: Actions speak louder than words. And most times that’s true but there are times that actions need words too because like a tree falling in the woods does the descending tree make a sound?  The thought is that words backed up with action are the strongest message because after all we want both to reach to those intended. 

So often relationships are about reciprocity when they seem to fall out of balance we let the other tree fall when if we lent just a little more support stronger roots could take hold. Selfless acts require courage and never a scale. Measuring what we’ve done and brought to the table are but echoes in the dark. If we love someone really love someone whether it be romantic love, a dear friend or even a sibling there can be never enough action and never enough words of love we can express waiting for the other to respond. 

I listened quite intently to KJ today and being a friend of Bill Wilson I learned that we could never blame someone else for things they have done or what they have failed to do. That is judgment plain and simple. There’s no room for judgment in this world we all have our own lives to lead and no one can really know what we are going through unless we walk in the others shoes. I say keep-bringing love no matter if they hear the tree falling or not. 

Saturday KSC brought me a beautiful message courtesy of Kristen James. A beautiful relationship we have too. I’m not her buddy, I don’t text her nor do I have her phone number I only have this forum and for as long as these legs can pedal I’ll be grateful. And to all my friends in this class that I have learned to love; thank you.
