There often comes a moment, for every one of us, where we find out self asking the question: "What do you say to that?" An event or issue has arisen that can leave even the most verbose of individuals speechless. Without voice. A split-second that lasts for a lifetime. Humbling, isn't it? Finding out that we do not have all the answers. How do you respond when a dear friend tells you a secret? When they open their heart to you, and you can hear that whisper of a silent plea begging for a reassuring voice. What do you say? What cliched platitudes will you speak that wont sound hollow and meaningless? Powerful moments. Truly the most powerful moments are those when we are the most helpless. We reach out hand to comfort the shoulder, at a loss for words. A great gob stuck in your throat preventing speech even if you had something to say more meaningful than, "It will get better." That is not to say that it won't get better. There is always hope. "Hope springs eternal," this quote is considered as a universal truth. It rings so hollow some times. Like it isn't enough, but sometimes...
It is enough.
