http://www.wordnik.com/lists/words-that-populate-my-mind.xml This is a collection of words I love, old ones that I love the sound of when I repeat them for years and new ones coined in news articles on up and coming trends and technologies - most of them I know - a few of them I have gleaned from books, newspaper articles or conversations. I may have already heard of them but wish to explore them further as part of my writing pursuits. I have a love affair with words. They color my world and structure my thoughts in so many ways. They flit through my mind, flotsam and jetsam that make life more interesting. I am so thankful for our human capability to express ourselves through the written word. Just as I believe thoughts have energy, so do words. They have the power to hurt and the power to heal - the power to bring beauty to the barren corners of our minds, hearts and souls. http://www.wordnik.com http://www.wordnik.com/words/googleganger
