Process Piece


Speaking is like uniqueness. Louis Armstrong is known for his musical talents on brass instruments in jazz bands all across the world. But what makes him unique is his voice. Most people who listen to a vast array of music are able to recognize his voice. What we don’t always recognize is that Louis probably had a vocal disorder. But who really cared? His voice is so characteristic that he was able to make his uniqueness his strength. The voice of a person defines who they are, and adds to their overall character. Thus making everyone, in their own respects, unique. In fact, this is why we found reason in finding out this process. It all started with zoning out in class while we were watching a video. From a simple ignorance, we were able to find beauty in such a simple process.
Speaking is like The trump card.  NPR did a radio broadcast about how we have the trump card of all animals because we have been able to master using our lungs and vocal chords to make coherent sounds. They go into the anatomy (and honestly beauty) of the human vocal abilities, then compare them against other animals. This elevates a level of communication that no other animals in the entire planet have been able to master. Once we take all of this into account, we are better able to appreciate God and his mastery of creating. Take that Chimpanzees.
Speaking is like a symphony. Think of it, for the voice to create sound waves, it has to vibrate the vocal chords. Compare that to the buzzing of your lips into a mouthpiece of an instrument. The buzzing produces sounds with high pitches or low pitches that are fantastic. So fantastic that someone, somewhere decided to put many voices together and create a human symphony. Some people call this a choir, but feel free to call it what you will. The voice is beautiful (not referring to any television shows)
Speaking is like elegance. On the other hand, we can also lift people up. We can bestow honor and glory and fame to someone, anyone. We can say something fluffy or bold, pretty or inadequate. Over the years though, we have encountered eloquent speech. Take the scripture study video for example: The unscripted narration is so unadorned, we could compare it to a small orchestra. Though what they say is but simple, it could have a lasting effect upon each of us. Thus rings the proverb true: The pen (your words) are mightier than the sword

Speaking is like me.
