Life is a school that uses a topic at a time though various teachers. Right now the subject seems focused on all of the things we never actually say, though we mean them.
I was half hearing the TV, and I heard someone say, "I get too nervous and I cannot say all of the things that I want to say." The response was, "then sing it." So began my quest to think of all the other ways we tell people things indirectly, and while I was thinking that, I started thinking about so many songs that I listened to and loved that I did not have a clue what they were about and it didn't matter to me. But, music sort of fits it's lyrics now adays so that likely happens less. Plus, so many vigilant parents stand at the ready to keep anything inappropriate out of a child's mind, and someone else deems things appropriate or not by assigning a rating to media so accidentally filling a mind with filth is less likely.
I went to a parenting conference in Tupelo where a keynote speaker talked about the things that he picked up on as a child that were not spoken. He referred to.a sort of hidden code so that it would appear harmless and mindlessly entertaining to kids, but adults would get the suggested nuiances.
My daughter's were very anxious to watch a movie and as it played I suggested they notice something that they might not have otherwise. They admitted that it was clear to them now, though nothing was ever said. There were hints.
It seems that I miss hints a lot of the time. I am thinking of an.awesome video for the song "Someday" by Nickelback. That explains to those who know me how I have to rewatch things multiple times. After I knew what was happening I saw it there all of the time, and was amazed at how it fit the lyrics, I missed it entirely. A movie I had to rewatch over and over was "The Illusionist." The movie replays things so you can see or how the carachter sees how he was fooled. I always wonder how the actor keeps it all straight in his/her head they know what is, but must play to suggest what is happening now realistically, which means, unaware. The greatest film for this sort of thing is sixth sense. I include anonymous because of flashes through time and inception, for after you know what to notice.
Well, so much for that idea. I tried to write a song thinking, maybe if I can't say it, someone else can sing it for me, but instead it just ended up being a song about not being able to use words to say things!
There are things that we are told in scripture that others were not allowed to say. I thought oh comeon, then don't say anything about it. But, my final thought is that maybe we are not able to say things because they ought never be put into words. I really wish there were no words for a few things like Love. Cause it has become a vain repetition. I wrote a poem in high school about words being stretched to mean so much that now they are like useless old deflated balloons. Well, I never said that, but that imagery was in my mind.
What can I say? My feet are cold!!! The end.
