Summary

Dawn Aegle, a writer who typically uses words to express and evoke emotions, has been unable to find the right words this past week and instead shares the words of another author with whom she shares a birthday, hoping to inspire hope in her readers.

Abstract

Dawn Aegle identifies herself as a writer who uses her craft to express, inspire, reflect, teach, convey, create, and feel. However, she has experienced a period of silence, unable to produce words. This silence has led her to introspect on the necessity of feeling the silence. Eventually, words resurface in her mind, but they are not her own; they belong to a man who shares her birthday and generation. She decides to share these borrowed words with her audience in the hope that they will lead to a path of hope. The article concludes with an embedded YouTube video, presumably containing the words or a message she wishes to convey to her readers.

Opinions

  • Dawn Aegle values the power of words for personal expression and connection with others.
  • She acknowledges a recent creative block, emphasizing the absence of words in her experience.
  • The writer suggests that silence can be a necessary part of the creative process.
  • She places significance on the words of another writer, implying that shared experiences can bridge the gap when personal words fail.
  • The act of sharing another's words is intended to evoke a sense of hope in her readers.
  • The inclusion of a YouTube video indicates a multimedia approach to communication and expression, possibly as a means to convey emotions or messages that written words cannot capture.

THANK YOU, BOB

Where Are The Frickin’ Words?

Cuz mine just can’t do justice…

I am a writer.

I pull words out of my gut…to express, to inspire, to reflect, to teach, to convey, to create, to feel. I use words to let me know how I feel…and to help others feel, too.

But. This. Past. Week. There. Have. Not. Been. Any. Words.

I sit at my computer, but I cannot type.

Because there are no words.

Is it because I have needed to feel the silence?

But tonight…words come into my mind. They are not my words. They are the words of a man with whom I share a birthday…and a generation.

Tonight, I share his words with you.

Tonight, I hope they can set us on a road to hope.

Dawn Aegle is a word woman who is currently at a loss for words…for none of them are adequate to do justice.
