I never said that...

Closely related to the concept that omission and misdirection is lying is the fact that our actions say what our moiths never do.

So often, I am corrected sharply for verbally translating someone's actions in correctly. But, was it incorrect? Or just not anything they would have ever spoken. 

We communicate with more than our voices. This should be so clear with the whole covid pandemic left fresh in our minds and we needed to communicate in different ways without in person communication. 

Yesterday, at church honesty was the topic, and so my mind went today to the things we say over and over again but have never actually spoken, like in a previous talk I loved the comment that on Sunday some things needed to be seen to, like if the ox was in the mire then get him out, but if it happens next week, we'll get him out again, but if the ox habitually gets in the mire, it's probably time to get a new ox.

 I have been beating myself up regarding things that were never actually said, but over and over and over actions scream a thing, so how long ought I ignore such actions? There is a song (ofcourse, there always is) "Till I hear it from you" by the Gin Blossoms. 

Darn it! I made my point. I am cold and I need to go think more...
