5 Favourite Words

While we are in this postmodern era of visual-worshiping, let's not forget that books have changed the world more than movies do. (Of course, books contain pictures and movies contain words, but you know what I mean.) So, let's take a break from pictures and Youtube today. Just words, words, words.

Words like people, food and music, I prefer some over others.

My top five likings, in no particular order:

LOVE – Simply for what it is and everything that goes with it.

ACQUIESCE – Learned from an Oasis song Masterplan: "...cast your words away upon the waves, bring them back with Acquiesce, on a ship of hope today". Haven't got a clue what it means. Just love the phonetic beauty of the word– act-queer-us. Uhm...

DESPERATE – We need to be sometimes.

PARADOX – Some words just look like the way they mean and mean like the way they look. This is one. Paradox ends with "X", which to me looks like two arrows going against each others (><) – a powerful symbol of contradiction. Above all, I have this compulsory obsession with everything paradoxical – from a quote, an image to a Margritte painting. (I desperately love to have another blog solely for it.)

ETHEREAL – It's ethereal.

A word knows how to paint too.
