Sometimes we can’t articulate the words of our heart. We carry a feeling but we can’t express it.

Gratefully, we have art. We have song. We have poetry.

These forms can often release what’s locked inside of us.

If we find ourselves at a loss for words, it might be a sign that we need more art.

Or perhaps, as my friend Sue Heatherington says so beautifully, “... sometimes we simply have to sit with the enormity of what we are holding and let it take shape in us. / And wait for the language to catch up.”

Wonderful advice.
