Specific words. Elegance. Passion. Art. They hold pictures. Home. Family. Friends. They hold emotion. Adventure. Faith. Live. They hold hope. Explore. Connect. Create. They hold my soul. Love. It holds everything.
Even in my art, words are vital. I love having them around me. To look at. To consider. To embrace.
I guess this demonstrates what I value. A story. How it is told. The words it uses. A person. How she describes herself. What I see in her. What it communicated. And faith. Sharing hope, asking for help, expressing gratitude… all in words.
Perhaps because I am physically separate from all of my friends and most of my family, the depth of meaning that words take on is even greater when a hug cannot be had or a laugh cannot be heard. A word can be felt. They have texture. I feel them.
Verve. Vivacity. Vivid. They are favorites, and hopefully me.

Words are so wonderful and amazing. I like the quote from Mark Twain: "The difference between the almost right word & the right word is really a large matter--it's the difference between the lightning bug and the lightning"
You and I are more alike than I thought. A lot of common issues as well <3
