As I opened my account page on my virtual ‘pinboard’, the first new 
addition to my page was the picture to the right. Steve Jobs earthly body has succumbed to deteriorating health and he has died.
It is all over the news, it is all over the internet, it is all over social media 
… it is all over …
What I find most interesting is how, after his death, it is his words that write his story … that write his eulogy. It is within the words left by the dead, that we see how they 
lived. It is like having a written jigsaw puzzle to leave to those left behind.
Our words live forever. Unlike ourselves, our words are immortal. Like the ideal of our children outliving us, our words are still here after we are gone. They are our legacy.
So, what do we leave through the words that we speak? What do our words say about who we are (on the inside), what we think, and what is most important to us? 
What is the message that we leave, after we are gone, through the words of our lips (and the meditation of our heart?)?
Although for about twenty years, I have been a fan of most Apple products (and have an 
embarrassingly large number of those products under our roof). I did not know Steve Jobs. But his words, the words I have been reading and hearing quoted all over the place today have endeared him, as a fellow human being, to me.
Through his words, he has left a legacy of passion, hard work, daring, adventure (especially of mind), and to THINK DIFFERENTLY!
The death of Steve Jobs, and how people are hanging onto his every last word, have reminded me of how very powerful our words are … for how others see us, and maybe even …
… how we see ourselves.
