On the King's Speech


Wordless Communication.

We take for granted our full capacity to exist in a world that often requires the ability to step lightly around cracks (agility), articulate our emotions (language), marvel at brightly-colored autumn transitions (perception), inhale aromas of early-morning ecstasy (coffee) and optimistic April showers (sense of smell), and appreciate the embrace of our velvety fleece slippers around our solid frozen toes (touch). Until we're unexpectedly stripped of our life-long routines and, consequently, forced to rely on the compassion and commitment inspired by the one capacity that trumps all others - companionship (affection). And in these humble moments, our previous expectations are replaced by renewed appreciation for the fragility of humanity, and so we step a little lighter and inhale a little longer to make sure we didn't miss anything we might have overlooked when we used to take life for granted. Enjoy!
