I love words. They are my playthings. In the world today there are 6500 languages, probably more.


Poem Artwork

One day I realized with a joyful heart

That God is surely omnilingual.

Speaking, of course, the universal

First tongue of children everywhere

Pronounced in baby babble.

Isn’t language a miracle?

Sometimes, I go mute. I choose then

A colorful comfort: the language of flowers.

It’s obvious God speaks that one too.

The language of flowers will never offend, it is always beautiful, fragrant, kind and makes us feel happy. We all should use it more often. Can it be taught? You are a great writer, I truly enjoyed.

Words certainly are wonderful. I am concerned when we limit them for ulterior reasons. And, when they bully or abuse, we should self-limit them with respect for those being abused.

I once had a friend who was kind of a trivia guy. He told me that he was collecting Indian epithets. I guess that in India, the combination of so many religions and very bad traffic in the crowded streets results in many swearwords. The commonly used Indian languages, probably including English, have a rich variety of swearwords to use upon occasion, invoking God in many cases to get the offending donkey or ass out of the way.

Discovery can be cathartic and fun.

Cheers,
