The Meaning of a Word

I find myself rarely at a loss for words. Unlike most, to me words are full of much more than the average meaning. Words communicate deeply to my soul. Words fill my mind with sights, smells and memories of my life, past, present and future. To find another person with whom to share this commonality, has been a consummate challenge. To bond over a passage from Shakespeare, to wonder together into the realm of Eliot, to be engulfed over coffee with Browning. My life has known no other, who gets lost in the classics and excited by the contemporaries. Many wonder for years, searching for the meaning of life. As I can find it in one verse. So I find myself not searching for the perfect word to write, but the perfect word to be read.
