Is it words or sand?

Has the internet changed our communications with love or friendships? With the internet so easily accessible, it becomes the first mode of communication where words take on the greatest of meaning. Do we become lost and literally zapped by the electromagnetic waves of cyberspace and lose touch with all other sources of reality that generate powerful connections in the first place?

Stepping aside from the exchange of words opens the mind to an extraordinary place where the conduit between two beings is instead in the stars. This reality brings a refreshing aspect to a relationship that would not exist were it to simply revolve around communication via words.

Take comfort in this idea, even if it's unknown...

Love especially requires touch, trust and full presence. Is it easy to replace needs that love craves with intimacies only found in words, when the other is not by our side. Isn't this a trap that has the potential to create chaos as the most tender and vulnerable moments arise which require immediacy?

What happened to the days of waiting months for a hand-written letter to arrive by horseback, with love in your heart?

Think about how hungry you can become for complete dedication from a loved one. You may want to see it all summarized, maybe on your computer screen, so that your heart is complete! But is this possible? Isn't it the energy emanating from the warm body that you desire, not words emanating from tin? Yet, with this accessibility, maybe you will live as if it is completely possible to be fulfilled in this manner and pursue it!

Remember, there is much to be said without words—that which can be most easily transmitted with silence and eye contact. Eye to eye, we can feel reactions, reasons for hesitance and see the beauty in taking the time to say what is true in the moment (or transmitted in silence).

We can confirm what is true with words, but if we learn to put them aside and focus more on the unspoken, we can read a more powerful sentence.

To imagine a world consisting of sand and stars and people being those stars and connecting on that level is true unity...
