Word Play Takes You To Other Worlds

We have sunflowers and sunspots. Both brilliant, yellow, and dazzling. You can sniff one, but not the other. Both delicate, and powerful. Moonstones with rainbow power can be iridescent and comforting. Moon landings, not so easy. Mooning – not as appealing. Word play can be delightful. Thinking on paper. Ideas popping out, escaping into yellow sunflowers. Or mooning your audience, taking you to another world. Your ideas might simply find themselves turning into a nice crisp clean cool harvest moon or a sizzling hot sunspot, blurring your reader’s eyes. Never know where words will take you, until they do. I feel sorry for the non-readers, who are missing Tens of thousands of words, seeing squiggles and dots. Not recognizing words at all – not conjuring sunflowers or Moonstones. Glad we have photography and nature for them.

I love love love this, especially the 'mooning' - wordplay is so much fun (for nerds like us, anyway!)

It is great for me. I think playing with words is almost as much fun as painting, and some days it trumps painting which I never thought could happen.
