Gordon Ramsay's the man!

I love Gordon Ramsey!  I like to live vicariously through him.  He gets to say whatever he wants to say and I totally envy that!  He never has to hold his tongue and that must be amazing!

Oh, to be able to say whatever pops into my head without consequences!  Oh, Gordon Ramsay, I love you!

A love note to words

Words are magical.  Words conjure feelings.  Words can feel like an enchantment and words can feel like a malediction. 

Words can be tortuous when they are raw and visceral.  There are times when words cannot be delivered in any other manner.  Words can be polished and poised, full of confidence and as a result, cultivating a feeling of assurance in others.

They are heartrending at times.   The agony in the words can thicken the very air that we breathe with bitter sorrow and helplessness.    They are inspiring at other times, giving hope to those receiving those words.  We can feel motivated and supported, we can feel joyful and we can feel loved.

Words have the potential to disarm and placate but the potential also exists for words to incense and enrage.

Words can provide a feeling of connectedness and unity among those who share them but words left unsaid or unwritten or words full of apathy and indifference can create a schism which could prove to vast to navigate.

I can think of no better way to sum up how I feel about words than this:  I love words.  I know that "love" seems like a broad word with many different interpretations but it fits how I feel.  It's not fancy and the word "love" is thrown around so often that maybe it loses some of the meaning but it's the perfect word.
