No Barrier of Speech

This is about knowing someone the first time you see them. It's all about feeling familiar.

Susan


Barrier of Speech...Expounded

I understand you without translation.

Our passion for the other is a different language that transpires a difference even though there is a likeness of a difference.

Language is a spiritual asset of hearts, souls.

I never thought there was a barrier in people when smiles are the same and warmth is all heated and cold is...cold...but flesh speaks alone by touch and feeling.

Our hearts speak by knowing and sensing, warmth and familiar fuzziness.

Eyes speak with a knowledge that even minds can't comprehend today.They search souls and find paths...and they realize before the brain that the heart speaks.

No language barrier here.

No wars can ever change the transpiration of love in a pair of eyes that reach out for souls.

History is full of testaments to this.

Even a soft brush by a spirit on the sidewalk will freeze a smile and cause the heart to walk that same path again and again to search for that special language that isn't "spoken" and for that brush that grabs the soul of the stranger.

It's intrigue.

The soul can feel what the mind cannot vision...and it speaks in barely a whisper.

We need no words, though they are there.

If you were in Grand Central Station it would find you.

It's the tender smile that sets a porcelain face apart in a crowd.

It's a memory shaken...spoken in silence...frozen in time and searched for the lifetime.

I think you understand.

I'm sure you do.

The heart, soul or spirit doesn't need an interpreter...

The words aren't what forms the bond.

Yes, words only try to explain.

Susan, loved this. It puts into words something I've never tried to, but often pondered on.... Oh except for a couple of times when I've tried to explain why I hesitate to write about something... When something has been close to my heart and I feel that the written word is so inadequate to explain it. Sometimes the necessity for the whole fullness of communication, which you have so beautifully put into words, here, is not worth risking writing about, but needs to be spoken and shared with all the other unspoken 'dimensions' present.

Great!!
Excellent!!!

Susan, This is reality of the senses. My side hobby is people watching and many times I have felt connections with people I've never spoken to. Call it body language or karma but it's a feeling that just is. I hope I'm making sense. Love your piece.
