What kind of a headline is that?

Tis a beautiful example of the wisdom that
‘Sincere words are spoken simply.’*

For here we have the mighty comma, a dot and curve joined together.
In this connection, they act as a visual and aural reminder and symbol of

* pausing (not racing from one thing to the next)
* taking a breath (the wonder of being alive)
* space (there is a bigger context than ourself)

and also

* connection (we are not alone)
* communication (receiving and giving)

Who says punctuation isn’t needed?

With a bow

*again, my thanks to 14th-century The Cloud of Unknowing
