dumbfounded - quotes and descriptions to inspire creative writing

I am a chatterbox by nature, and so when you find me dumbfounded, there is every chance that I am in a state of awe for what you have achieved.

I guess I've found myself dumb, in the sense that my words have stopped flowing, stopped because you have shown me a new direction I never anticipated for a moment.

Upon this kitchen table, upon the wood that was once a barn in a far away land, are the old nail holes that bring so much character. In my moments of emotional dumbfoundedness, when I realise it will take time for my brain to find the words to adequately express what I feel, I let my fingers trace those ragged holes rendered so beautiful by the deep varnish hue.

My speech silences itself in reverence to your words, to the new light they shine upon old ideas. If this is dumbfounded, then I have found myself quite stupid by comparison and can't wait to hear more.
