of migraines and moratoriums

i just happen to get a kick out of alliteration. i love all forms of literary devices actually, from portmanteaus to internal rhyming and onomatopoeia. words are just amazing to me. a simple sentence, depending on tone of voice and inflection can mean so many different things.

words are important to me because i love reading, talking and singing. without words i could not even be blogging right now. which is obvious of course, i just felt like pointing that out. the written and spoken words are such a large part of our lives that i think they are often taken for granted. the sheer volume of published works is tremendous, from the literary masterworks such as Jane Eyre, Atlas Shrugged, The Prince, to all the content published to the internet on a daily basis, that's a lot of words, sentences, thoughts, premises, and ideas.

words are the foundation of what makes us who we are. first words are a HUGE deal. mine was kitty. not mommy or dada.

kitty.

i wonder if that says something about me? i don't think we even owned a cat at the time, but i'd always wanted one. we did have one when i was a toddler and i got my own when i was 4.

as i meander about with my random brain... words. the cornerstone.,the foundation, a pillar, vital, pivotal, words. damn i love em.

a suppose the following is a poem. nothing else to call it i suppose. it means a lot to me.

Life is....

Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.
Life is beauty, admire it.
Life is a dream, realize it.
Life is a challenge, meet it.
Life is a duty, complete it.
Life is a game, play it.
Life is a promise, fulfill it.
Life is sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a struggle, accept it.
Life is a tragedy, confront it.
Life is an adventure, dare it.
Life is luck, make it.
Life is too precious, do not destroy it.
Life is life, fight for it.

-Mother Theresa
