Words are deeply important to me. When I feel trapped or hurt or hopeful, when I need to understand emotions I cannot express, I usually need to write it out. Because the words that flow from my fingertips tell me more about who I am and how I feel than I could ever comprehend on my own.
That being said, when I begin using a word frequently it usually means that my heart is speaking up. Lately, I've noticed that I am always writing or saying "unreal".
Like when I look at an amazing sunrise, or speak to someone that amazes me, or hear about healing.
It is unreal.
But I'm beginning to realize is that when I say it is unreal, I mean that it is more real than everything else. This sunrise, her heart, the redemptive quality of life- it is more real than all of the other thoughts that run through my mind. It's an experience. It pulls me into a moment that is disconnected from the world because it is so much of the world at once. It is the very stuff of life, the parts that make it full and real and whole. It is unreal.
