Words fall short, and definitions are incomplete. Description is lacking, and illustrations don't even begin to tell. There are some things, some events, some feelings that go beyond the ability to communicate. Sometimes the experience is simply indescribable.
How does a person adequately describe what it is like to watch their child being born? What words can be employed to tell of the deep feelings of falling in love? Is there enough vocabulary to share the overwhelming emotion that is attributed to receiving the news of a fatal disease? Who can speak of the wonder of watching a grand-child simply be, or sitting with a grand-parent that is about to expire? No matter what the experience is or how long the process takes, the person who takes part in some activities will not find the words to share with others what it is like to be them.
No, there merely are no words for others to understand fully some things, and the reservation for such is given to one much greater than any human contact. There is indeed one who knows, and there is indeed one who cares. The fundamental path is to realize that when words cannot describe and vocabulary falls short, there is one who knows even the slightest groan, and can interpret every emotion that a person experiences. Those who seek him will find him, and those who ask will not be turned away.
Until tomorrow...Why Say More?
