Words are like bits of crystal, the more faceted, the more beautiful. Speech should not be boring.
Hu Chang in What Doesn’t Kill You, by Iris Johansen
Don’t forget that words can also be like bits of crystal in their ability to cut and hurt. We must be careful which facet we’re showing or using.
This, that and the other thing 
True!
Good morning and thanks for visiting. May your day be filled with jewel-like words

Very nicely worded. Love it.
Just what I thought when I read it. Glad you liked it, too.

Well said…
I’m glad I found it to share. Have a great day, Sue.

Amen!
A good morning to you, John, and I hope you have a wonderful day.

All facets of a crystal may cut if the holder is not careful.
Even a rose if held imprudently may cut. Does the rose hold back its beauty.
We may be prudent in what we show, but too much caution can hamper expression.
The receiver, too, has a responsibility too to accept, reject, analyze, and decide.
ah, yes, little one.
Thanks you, Grasshopper. 🙂

Ouch. Roshi, that hurt my feelings!
