Guard Your Tongue

55 Tongue Model, Paradise Valley, AZ 7-27-10

The woman sitting across from me was carefully dressed, monochromatic in beige with just the right drop pearl earrings. Her hair was piled on her head with a coiffed bun and revealed just the tiniest pieces of gray escaping their place. It was a bit unnerving as she looked me straight in the eye and began a series of "reads" she had about me.

Since I've often 'felt' certain things about my friends and loved ones that could be considered "reads", I wasn't afraid of what she might say in as much as I was aware of how my own experiences of doing the same was perceived. As she began with rapid speed accuracies, I began to slowly categorize her words in bullet format. It was an experience to say the very least, but the one lasting epiphany from the moment was when she said, "You have a gift with words"..."Be aware that what you say, people will hear and so guard your tongue". Huh? Guard my tongue?

"Yes." She repeated and then said this, "There is an angel which sits upon your tongue. Watch what you say and how you say it, else this angel will have to leave and only return when it is sure you are speaking with love". :)

I love this imagery...And have HONESTLY changed my cursing to be only at extreme moments of frustration. Hahahahahahaha...Oh, but be sure, I do think about my angel leaving me and it makes me sad. Guard your tongue friends. :)
