Words have become mere purveyors of information. Our words no longer have power in themselves because we no longer have the personal power to keep them – we no longer have power in ourselves. Words, at their most powerful, promise and bind, and once made should never be broken. If you break your word then your being is rent and will leak until healed. Healthy fear – the fear that binds us to our promises and makes us honourable and trustworthy – is as necessary as healthy love. It's not love that makes us special but honour – honouring the pledges we hold in our heart.
