Words are sometimes enough

Just two quotes. One is and the second is by David Whyte, from The heart Aroused (included in ch. 3 of Cluetrain Manifesto).

We are not what we think, or what we say, or how we feel. We are what we do. Conversely, in judging other people we need to pay attention not to what they promise but how they behave. ... We are drowning in words, many of which turn out to be the lies we tell ourselves or others.

by Gordon Livingston, Too soon old, too late smart

The voice emerges literally from the body as a
representation of our inner world. It carries our
experience from the past, our hopes and fears for the
future, and the emotional resonance of the moment. If
it carries none of these, it must be a masked voice,
and having muted the voice, anyone listening knows
intuitively we are not all there.
