Where does it really all begin? Perhaps in Genesis chapter 1 verse 3 when my Creator God said "Let there be..." Maybe, in actuality for you and me, gestational week 18... two ears unfolded from inside our heads and we first heard the uninterpreted words from our Mommy??? Expression, definition, understanding, revelation, spirituality, inspiration...words, words, words! They come, they grow, they fade, they change lives...change lives, whole lives, completely. Just one word can make my day or take my spirit far, far away. Just one not two or three, but just one...Think about it...love, hate, stop, stay, fuck, no, NO...NO...NO! Whew, that's a hard one. Think about it...you, me, us, they, he, she, it, yes, YES...YES...YES! Whew that's a deep one. Words compel, shake...they motivate...they groove (snap, snap, snap) they move. They deliver, destroy, heal, conquer, etcetera, etcetera...You know and I know we need them like the earth needs the rain to wash over the pain...Pick your position of definition...poetry, prose, essay, rhyme mixed with a simile or two...antonyms, onomatopoeia's or analogies...baby, baby, baby it's all okay no matter what you say or how you be at the end of the day no one really knows the true birth of the of birth ETYMOLOGY!
Snap snap snap......no more words needed.
