Young Woman of Words

This daughter, not yet woman, is filled with words. Her love of words is with her all her day. She is working hard to form and shape them with care. Diligent to dare. Whether soaking them in or shaping them without, she sets forth a stillness that encourages me to form words wisely. For she lives on the edge of her seat, soaking them all in.



Favorite words right now. Trying to live them. Trying to speak them. 

Truth, trust, transparency.
Small, still, silence.
Real, resolute, responding.
Query, question, quest.
Probe, persist, presence. 
Open, optimist, ocular.
Necessitate, needy, now.
Grasp. Grace. God.

Let us be like lace. Letting light shine in, and illuminating inner rooms.
