the most beautiful words in the english language.

I think I need to use more of them on a regular basis. It makes me smile to think that tongue and air and teeth and lungs can be used to create more beauty in the world.

They are lovely, no? And so soothing to say... Still, I think the list is missing a few. Limerence is one of my favorites, and one far too underused. And luminous and numinous both.

But what words would you add?

when death comes.

I love this poem, and I love poems so much more when they're read.

I imagine I am not the only one.

if you wrote a valentine to the world, what would it say?

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for February 14, 2009:

Say? Oh, goodness. I want only that my whole life be a Valentine to the world.

I love you I love you I love you.

Happy Valentine's Day, all! May your hearts be each filled to overflowing and may your lives burst with appreciation of this and may the whole world clap its hands in delight at this celebration. How lucky we are to have each other! How lucky we are to share this space. :)

are you the favorite person of anybody?

I don't remember when I first saw this film, though I do remember when I was first introduced to Miranda July. I love her work--it's so sweet, and so perfect, and so poignant and so wryly real. This one is no exception.


Are You the Favorite Person of Anybody?

I think so. :)
