The Magic of Words

The magic of words ...

The written word is a glorious invention. Before, computer's,paper and pen we only had our voice. Now we can record what we want to say. I find it fascinating that we can gain understanding and wisdom as we take the time to read what others have written. We get to have a glimpse into the minds of the writer for a brief time as we are taught something we may not even know we learned until later.

Think of the power we have with words. Teachers teach the content of words, expanding the knowledge, so that we can grow. We learn about traditions, cultures, the way people live and we get to read about current events and world news. We read words to take us places we haven't even dreamed about.

Think about it, we are given a gift to pass on for generations to come. Speak the truth, fantasize, and let your creativity broaden the world of others. As writers don't we do this for ourselves? I know I do.

As my mother has always told me, "The world is at your fingertips." She is literally correct. I write and new characters, places and worlds are born.

I love the magic of words.
