Hurt Heart Events

More From Steve Martin

If he thinks he would harm mirabelle, he would back away. but he does not yet understand when and how people are hurt. he doesn't understand the subtleties of slights and pains, that it is not the big events that hurt the most but rather the smallest questionable shift in tone at the end of a spoken word that can plow most deeply into the heart.

If the lost word is lost, if the spent word is spent if the unheard, unspoken word is unspoken, unheard; still is the spoken word, the word unheard, the word without a word, the word within the world and for the world; and the light shone in the darkness and against the word the unstilled world still whirled about the center of the silent word. oh my people, what have i done unto thee. where shall the word be found, where shall the word resound? not here, there is not enough silence

There is no enemy can hurt us but by our own hands. satan could not hurt us, if our own corruption betrayed us not. afflictions cannot hurt us without our own impatience. temptations cannot hurt us, without our own yieldance. death could not hurt us, without the sting of our own sins. sins could not hurt us, without our own impenitence.
Hurt Hands Temptation
Even if nobody's singing, just when you talk, you're singing. i'll meet somebody and say, "oh, i'm tone-deaf." i say, "you're not tone-deaf, because if you were tone-deaf you would speak like that. but you're 'oh, i'm tone-deaf.' you already sang a song to me."
Song Singing Tone
If you would be well spoken of, learn to be well-spoken; and having learnt to be well- spoken, strive also to be well-doing; so shall you succeed in being well spoken of.

We are in love with the word. we are proud of it. the word precedes the formation of the state. the word comes to us from every avatar of early human existence. as writers, we are obliged more than others to keep our lives attached to the primitive power of the word. from india, out of the vedas, we still hear: on the spoken word, all the gods depend, all beasts and men; in the world live all creatures...the word is the name of the divine world.
