The words on the pen linger in my mind -- “Mightier than the sword.”
The words bring back memories of studies in history and civics. The relevance of those words today is undeniable.
We are caught in a frenzy of words thrown at us from so many sources -- some reliable, some less so. It is sometimes easy, but often difficult, to discern the difference.
It is a plastic ballpoint click pen -- an instrument of communication somewhere on the spectrum between the quill and the computer.
The simple yet profound message on the pen is a reminder of the vigilance required from those to whom words are directed.
