I will always miss our conversations but am so thankful that we had them. After all this time and despite all the intensity of our brief encounter, I'm left with the memory of meeting, knowing and enjoying one of the greatest people Im sure I will ever meet. Wether I was a stepping stone or a pebble you tripped over on your path, I dont regret a thing! You and your words will forever be special! And thats all I have to say about that. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7887931000695497136.post-24945141314290828232008-08-18T14:30:00.000-07:002008-08-18T14:30:00.000-07:00I love musical words.

What have I been thinking? What a lovely world you have over here. Your photography is stunning.<BR/><BR/>I am instantly smitten with that word Coquelicot. It makes you want to say it just by looking at it. I am trying to think of a word to share but I'm finding it hard to pick one that also has a beautiful meaning, too. So right now I think I will offer incandescence as my word.<BR/><BR/>And I'll look forward to reading and seeing more here in the future.tangobabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01288974184200212536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7887931000695497136.post-60927218421684693352008-08-13T23:15:00.000-07:002008-08-13T23:15:00.000-07:00Jy (you)is (are)'n (a)"sterretjie" (little star)wa...Jy (you)<BR/>is (are)<BR/>'n (a)<BR/>"sterretjie" (little star)<BR/>wat (that)<BR/>"skitter" (shines)<BR/>in (in)<BR/>die (the)<BR/>"maanlig".

So maybe there are some positive associations there.<BR/><BR/>I love word play too. Being a literalist means I think about most of the things people say. One of my friends in the French course came up to us at the banquet and said in English*, I think I am going to call it a night. I thought about this and asked her "what else could you call it?" I was promptly informed that my jokes are just as bad in English as they are in French. (*the countdown to English had just ended thus we were allowed finally to speak English after five weeks)<BR/><BR/>And when it comes to word play, Arabic reigns king. I love Arabic for this.Glenn Kachmarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11271522925669315573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7887931000695497136.post-45725607060207380802008-08-08T21:46:00.000-07:002008-08-08T21:46:00.000-07:00Oooo....

From the...I could not stop smiling as I read this. From the moment you wanted a cupcake right up to end. Not because I have so many favorite words (and I DO, trust me!), but because the oddest thing happened a couple of nights ago. I was sitting with Mary, who has now had a small stroke, leaving her speech affected. Not funny at all, BUT . . . she was trying to tell me something about someone I didn't know, and the only words she could come up with to describe him were "Muffin Man". And oh, it was all I could do to not smile, and eventually I HAD to smile, because, despite the sadness of the situation & poor Mary's struggle, the words just make me laugh. I finally told her this & she began to laugh also - she is perfectly able to understand people, she just can't put her tongue around the right words. Her sense of humor is intact, thank goodness.<BR/><BR/>Wonderful, wonderful post. I hope you DO explore this subject again.<BR/><BR/>:) Debid smith kaich joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13450581639610967780noreply@blogger.com
