For the introvert, the harvest
of spoken syllables is
meager.
Go on, ask a friend
for her spare
words. Ask your husband;
he doesn’t know how to be
quiet.
Ask yourself “Is this garden really
worth it?”
I assure you, it is. Dig down.
Friends and husbands are fine,
but your garden of thoughts can feed
the hungering world.

wonderful! thank you for this …
‘For the introvert, the harvest/of spoken syllables is/
meager.’ and
‘your garden of thoughts can feed/the hungering world.’
yours are the final words I read before signing off tonight – and such a treasure of affirmation for a serious introvert who precisely aims to feed the hungering world with words …
Thank you, Sarah!
The harvest of spoken syllables . . . .
You capture dreamy tenderness as well as the intentionality of wanting to contribute well. I’m an INFP/INFJ (P and J completely balanced) and nodded so many times with quite a few chuckles as I read.
