»Let it be done to me according to thy word.«
================================================
And how much courage.
The word is powerless yet powerful. The word can be a mere 8 bits, or the flame that burns a city to the ground. Words sting, caress, re-assure, and destruct.
We become wordsmiths innately, learning language before we learn to walk or talk. And still, we continue our development, our love affair with words, until the day we die.
Have you ever noticed that the only difference between »word« and »weird« are the vowels?

Much fruit of sense beneath is rarely found.
