"speak that I may see thee."

I live a life surrounded by and made all up of words.  It's not just a matter of my job, though certainly that's part of what's made it happen.  As fate would have it, I'm just made that way. 


The rub is, that most of the people I know are not that way--for them, words aren't real in the sense that they can do work or be the main thing.  As a result, my efforts to make something happen by using words tend to fall far short.  As a result, sometimes I just don't offer what others need.

Often, actually.
