Do we know how to limit words, to say what helps and leave unsaid what doesn't? How do we, in the midst of all we think and love, avoid draining the soul with too many words? I've seen it – alas I've done it. Perhaps the most taciturn know the flaw. Perhaps that's how they learned silence.
We are so prone, on discovering some new vista, to tell the world. And since the world isn't listening, we tell our neighbor or spouse. Or, in the miracle of laptops and whatsapp and other countless tech enablements, we “tell” a thousand screens.
