Use Words like Music

What if, right this second, the human race lost the power of speech and was forced to rely on non-verbal communication? What would our lives be like, and how much more intimate would our relationships be, if we had to communicate without words? Words, after all, are those tools we use to keep people at a distance. We can appear to be loving and congenial by smiling and saying words that tickle the ears. But how do we really feel, and how successful would we be at hiding our real feelings without words? In the next world I think that words will be things that we use like music, to adorn and enhance an already wonderful situation, not as things to hide or mask our feelings and intentions. I have many little visions and dreams these days where nobody is talking. Everything else is going on, but there’s no talking. I can hardly wait.
