A heart the size of the world

Ever notice how some words just pierce right through any armor in place and penetrate your heart? What gives those words that ability? What gives some people the ability to say those words? Does it improve with practice? Is it an overall ability that a person can use with everyone, or does it work with certain recipients?

I have definitely noticed when it happens, both from me and to me. As to the other questions, I don't know. I wish I did. Every time I manage to pull it off (usually without ever meaning to) it is a small gift. A bonus. A treat. I made someone's heart skip a beat. I helped to show them just who or what they truly are. I made them speechless as they try to assimilate the truth of my words into their understanding of the world and their place in it.

B - you do have a heart the size of the world.
