Words that make me ….

December 28, 2010 ·

Have you ever noticed how certain words elicit feelings in you? Have you ever tried to find a theme?

I’ve been paying attention to how I respond to words. Wisdom, reflection, curiosity, peace,  joy. These are words that make me sigh, breath deeply, and feel calm.

Reform, rank, sort, organize, smart, sports, mark, perform. These are words that make me uncomfortable, quiet, and almost give me a headache.

Just wondering these days if our attraction to words is a way to determine who we are and what we want to do in life.
What words are you drawn to? What themes do you see?

“Words are the voice of the heart.” Confucius
