We take so many things for granted. Blowing a kiss to a loved one, blowing a candle on our birthdays. Studies have shown that we speak anything between 15000 to 30000 words a day. But we function so well that we dont have to focus on the intricatemovements of our vocal faculties. Every verb, nouwn, vowel, sound pitch happens without much thought.
And those those without, those who can't, can only imagine. Not just the hearing impaired or speech impaired. But also the starving, the old the stroke survivor. Can we even utter a simple one syllable word through parched lips? Sore throats.. the mouth moves but words emerge, only whispers. Great effor painful, still... no verbal communication.
We don't need catastrophes to remind ourselves that we are indeed blessed. With or without speech hearing sight. We are blessed because we can choose to transcend over and above our own problems. And reaching out to other. We dont need to talk about love. Love is action.
