Hapax would be a great band name. I think I am reserving it.

Potluck it is! We could have a study group meet, too.

Diligence. Formalism. Positivism.

I am giving myself a bit of goosebumps.

You're welcome


Though rather short-lived if they play only once, don't you think?


How about Catharsis ?

Hahahah, catharsis is a synonym for my life, and I am tired of it . Besides there are probably a few heavy metal bands called that already. It's an excellent word and concept, anyways.

Syncopized. I had to do a lot of that today at a rehearsal.

awakening
I don't know how to swim.

trustworthy

matter
it does.. I knew


Senses or making sense

The two do not correlate
One is rational
The other feels, senses, knows without being told, without seeing, just knows.

I do this also before writing an essay.
Meditate, feel, sense the author even of centuries ago.
I ask permission to write.

Peace
Warm understanding
Caring peace

Neither had ever shot an albatross

To feel without seeing
Helplessly, not knowing why

Seagull. Jonathan Livingston.

Ambitions. Moving on. Growth..Progress.

Words

No words could ever express a feeling.
And if they could then it would be captured and defined.
If defined, it would exist.
If it existed it would be destined to disappear.
May the love escape the words.

Politeness


In truth, politeness is artificial good humor, it covers the natural want of it, and ends by rendering habitual a substitute nearly equivalent to the real virtue.


--Thomas Jefferson

Regularity.


No matter how unappealing and ordinary it may sound, it is an amazing vehicle. It is an engine, a driving force for anything that needs time and space to develop. Regularity is my mantra these days, in rehearsals, piano practice, creativity, writing. It is a very positive concept. As a teacher, creating a habit of practising something is almost as important as the primary intrinsic motivation.

Introvert
Quiet introvert, love people - from afar.

Serenity
A beautiful Fall afternoon, a fascinating class, my loved ones.

Love
Loved deep enough to let go.

Haven
My corner of the library where the sun shines through, just so.
Catching thoughts into words as they stumble and tumble.

Moral asymmetry.

Scientism.

Tortoise.


My daughter's new favourite word. We hear it a lot at the moment.

I remember when Mrs Chelone tortoise the difference between a tortoise and a turtle.

Hehehe. Yes, but did it stick? Turtle was last week's word...

Well, her lessons brought us out of our shells, at least.

How turtle-y brilliant...

I love this thread, I really do. And I love reading all the new words every few days. I thought I could let this go, but it's been circling my brain...


I think you mean pertinacity. Or tenacity.


Perspicacious, while I'm at it...

Punishment vs sanction.
