I'm feeling.....Orange!!!

Have you ever had an orange feeling? I mean its a feeling that doesn't have a descriptive word in the English language. A warm feeling...not entirely good but not bad either. Kind of hanging, kind of missing something. Maybe a little restless and a little lazy. You go about doing your job somewhat enjoying it. But your mind flits about. You want to here...but there as well. Its like you haven't made up your mind. A little surreal.

Or am I just crazy?

Whats your favourite word?

Words are beautiful little things....we use them so carelessly, so easily without really understanding their potency, their inherent little wordly qualities. I see them as tiny beads packed with meaning and definitive purpose. Strung together as sentences, flavoured with accents and moods-they are tossed across in conversations. And when these garlands touch-maybe caress, sometimes hit the other person-they explode into a shower of comprehension, imagery and colour.

Some words are hard, unyielding....like a "cut" or a "brunt"...then there those dynamic ones that can "swing" or "slash". The softer "slush". The tempting "lure".

Then there are the quiet ones, mild but shrouded in mystery like "ether"...It has a cottony feel as it slips off your lips. But my all time favorite would be "metaphor"....enigmatic and dignified. Something about it that makes it so powerful in a subdued sort of way....
