And words - ...The silent screams are the deadliest. And words - words as weapons. Deadly. Yet they can also be Truth bearers. And Life givers. It all depends on whose Truth is being spoken or inflamed and voiced. <br />As for "listening"? - <br />I've always believed there is no need to apologize for Truth. To push to the edge, the limits and beyond. <br />Of course, those who refuse to be anything other than one-directional are, ultimately, paper thin. <br />Fire burns many colours - and although "red or crimson" is the blood draw - it isn't the hottest part of the flame. (It's blue of course, like blood without the oxygen.)<br /><br />So yes, savage, raw and much needed. And knowing how to handle the knife? Is as much an art as it is science. <br />Always best to choose one's "battles" wisely. <br /><br />Incredible 55!

A fine, well-honed and stainless blade of a 55, Shay.
