Words

Y'all ever think about words?

Are there words you know the exact moment you learned what they meant and how to use them?

For example, I remember the exact moment I heard the word "fail" and what it meant in the context of a class. I was in the kitchen with my mom and maybe another sibling or two when my oldest brother came in and told my mom about a class he just got the grades for. He said he "failed" it. I had never heard that before and didn't know what it meant until then.

Another word I remember learning: finale. I learned the meaning of that word in the context of the 4th of July. The last set of fireworks was always the "grand finale" and I didn't know what that meant except in that context.

Or have you ever thought about how many words we have for certain things?

For example, how many words are there that mean hate?
hate, detest, abominate, abhor, loathe, etc. Now those all mean the same and you basically can use them interchangeably no matter what or who you are talking about.

What about love? How many words mean love?
admire, adulate, delight in, dote on, esteem, exalt, etc. BUT....you wouldn't interchange those depending on the person or thing you were talking about. They don't all really mean love to us. Think about it.

You don't love your dog the same way you love your ham and cheese sandwich. You don't love your child the same way you love your favorite book...and yet we use the word love for those things. You might say "I delight in this sunshine" (you would sound weird but it would make sense to people) but you wouldn't say "I delight in you"...it just isn't the same as "I love you".

So fascinating to me....and to think I hated Linguistic Anthropology...

but i promise it is inside of me forever

Have you ever wanted to create something. You just feel this thing in your head, in your mind, in your soul, in your heart, in your consciousness? You feel it growing and becoming something that you want to create and put out there.

You want to give life to this thing through your words maybe? Or your paints and canvas, or your violin. You just feel it. It needs to be created. It needs life.

I feel that. I feel it lately. I want this thing to be the first if it's kind. I want people to be stunned and touched by this thing. I want it to be unlike anything anyone has ever come in contact with.

I want this thing to make people feel like they've known it their entire existence, premortal life and all. It's so comfortable and familiar to them like that person's hug you will never forget or refuse.

Like when you say:
"Thursday? Thursday is neutral. Its broccoli, 8, 9, traffic lights, and grey that are boys"
And the person either goes:
"I KNOW! That is what I'm saying!
or:
"Um....you realize those are all inanimate or intangible things right?"

When this thing gets out I want it to bring mortals to their lives as angels and I want it to bring angels to their lives as mortals. I want it to testify of all things true.
I want it to bring tears. Whatever kind of tears come. I want happiness and sadness and all the heartfelt emotions that look like a rainbow. 

I want it to remind them of their dog growing up. And I want them to think of all the times they've traveled down that road. I want them to feel every ounce of love that has ever been given or received. 
I want this thing to consume all

I'm not sure if this thing will ever gain life outside of me.
