i have been thinking more. maybe because i am away from the negativity of the basement.

i realized that i am most passionate about words. (tied with food, of course.) words well-formed and placed are unspeakably intimate and moving.

it is surprising how people are hardwired. some are moved by people, by music, or nature.

most music sounds like noise to me, except for a great deal of classical music -which sounds like words.

thinking back to those formative years, of course it makes sense. i spent the first 20+ years of my life with my nose in a book. the words in those books shaped me.

funny that i like words so much, but parcel them out so carefully when i speak.
