Spiritual words...

Before I had children, the words "Son" or "Daughter" had a very "externalized" feel to them, they really didn't touch me inside. Of course, I didn't have children, and those words applied to others. Since I became a father, those words carry so much more meaning and feeling than simply expressing a simple relationship. They refer to something within me as much as they refer to the two people with whom I share the relationship. When I speak the words now, they stand out so much more than the other words in my sentences. I don't know if anyone else can sense the weight they carry, but every time I speak those words, they seem to come up from my heart and not simply from my vocal cords (or vocal folds, to you SLPs). Like my previous post about how pictures have depths beyond those of sight, these words carry depth like no other I speak.
