Words... I love words and how they are able to convey or come close to capturing and expressing an experience, an impulse, a drive, a reaction... of that which is either internal or external... concrete or abstract.
Every now and then I ponder upon words that reflect what I currently admire:
- magnanimity: since falling in love with words after studying them for a standardized test, upon learning this word, I was immediately drawn to it. It reflects some of my highest personal goals. The word seems to repeatedly come up in my psyche
- passion and compassion: these words to me reflect some kind of strong drive toward a feeling of wholeness and connectedness toward those forces that feel bigger than my conscious experience
- harbinger: I don't know why, but this is the word currently permeating my mind. I guess I really admire those who help show the way for others... a beacon, a light for those who which to venture upon a similar path
- creativity and imagination
- courage and persistence
A lot of these qualities I wish for more of in myself... I often wonder what qualities are qualities I myself can fully embody versus qualities that are more complimentary, qualities that others more fully embody and can help to support me in areas where I'm not as skilled or strong. I wonder how to differentiate between the two.
