Meaning. Feeling. Emotion. Weight.
Words carry each.
With words a person can carefully and stealthily tear a person to shreds. Or paint a picture of what sits in their heart.
Words can condemn. But words can also inspire.
I love words. I love their power.
I have a special connection with some words, over others.
Some of my favorites...
Magic.
Breath.
Strength.
Heart.
Written.
Rise.
Fly.
Some that puzzle me...
Languish.
Regret.
Loath.
Sacrifice.
Love.
Some I hate...
Hate.
Quit.
Bored.
Lost.
Impossible.
I associate each word with a particular meaning, feeling or emotion. And the weight of each word will either build a bond between the word and I, or making us the most bitter enemies.
Though, I prefer to be friends.
I can think of a few favorite words but only one really stands out to me. "remember" has always been a favorite and powerful word. ha.. I just thought of how the movie "the lion king" prefectly illustrates this. Mufasa's last words to simba from the clouds were "remember.. remember.. remember" in that amazing james earl jones voice. its perfect.
ReplyDeleteOur experiences move, change and shape who we are, but if we fail to remember the feelings, the moments, the thoughts behind those changes, we lose some of the meaning.
