What do you think this wall once said? OWL is all I can read. I wonder what that refers to, what else is buried under the words. They have been lost in time.
I am lacking in words today. I woke up without them. Not in a frantic “Where have the words gone?” kind of way, but in an observational, bucket-is-empty kind of way.
Perhaps it means I’ve been using too many words lately, and it’s time to take in more. Perhaps it means it’s time to listen.
A time to listen, yes, we learn a lot by listening. I try and remind myself of this from time to time as I do tend to like words…
I like the word “OWL” on the brick wall. Owls often represent wisdom and they do seem to sit and listen and look much of the time.
Do you remember this little rhyme?
“A wise old own lived in an oak
The more he saw the less he spoke
The less he spoke, the more he heard.
Why can’t we all be like that wise old bird?”
Have a lovely wise day!

I feel the same way, I know they are there I can see them rolling around in my head, I just can’t quite get them out. So I’m going to let the simmer a while and make good word soup?
I do often find sometimes that when that happens, and I listen more it’s because there is message somewhere for me to learn…
Have a great day!
I think it’s good to have those days every once in a while!
Sounds like it might be time for some self-care. . . A good book, a cup of tea, a walk through nature. I love your lost words photo, it reminds me of the ones I have taken recently in NYC. Take care of you!
Huh, self care. Hadn’t thought of that solution!
I read someone’s blog a long time ago. She was in Phillipines I believe-and she loved to find these old words on old buildings. She called them “ghost writing”….I loved that as it conveyed the mystery-oft like OWL you can only read and guess at some.
I have been doing a Wordless Wed for a few weeks now and am posting only the image and it’s title and finding it refreshing to let my images speak on their own.
Like you, I like to write, but sometimes it’s nice not too. Happy spring Kat.
Oh and Lori is right….a little self-care never hurts. I could use some too.
Kat – my reaction when words won’t come is usually panic – omigosh, what will I do now? Even when I have lots of proof from past experience that they eventually do.
Thanks for the reminder that the meaning of the no-words syndrome may mean it is time to do some listening.
