I woke up thinking about the word, “whisper”. I really like
that word. It evokes all kinds of imagery and emotions.
In one of my favorite movies, “Knight’s Tale”, a character
says of another, “…he spent a year in silence just to better understand the
sound of a whisper.” God is spoken of as
being in a whisper: “After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a
gentle whisper.” (1 Kings 19:12)
Whispers can be harsh and menacing when a threat is given
secretly. They can be loud and obnoxious when a shout is being disguised as a
whisper. Whispers are delightfully sweet when little children share giggling stories.
A whisper can be soft and sensuous when spoken close to the ear from a lover.
Good night…she whispers.
