Like warriors words can be ferocious tearing into tender thoughts or wailing against ignorance and atrocity Like caresses words can be tenderness softly sung mother lullabies or lovers whispers drawing us close together Like chameleons words can be deceiving meaning more than on the surface hiding lies or truth serving hidden purposes Like bulldozers words can be powerful moving Nations to uniting hearts to compassion and the minds of men into war Like any tools words can be used to build meaning or to destroy purpose revealing the truth or lies to listening masses |

Oh, I can't argue with anything said here, Lori. As usual you cut to the meat of the situation and tells it like it is. ~*~ Better pass boldly into that other world, in the full glory of some passion, than fade and wither dismally with age.--James Joyce ~*~ |

I imagine everyone will be able to "see" the Fertilizer with what you have already written. Sometimes we can add too much information . . . ~*~ Better pass boldly into that other world, in the full glory of some passion, than fade and wither dismally with age.--James Joyce ~*~ |

Words... Yes, they are the most useful tools when in the right hands and the most destructive, in the wrong. Reminds me of a piece I wrote years ago, called Drying Hearts. |

Feel free to copy and use the Lori, I found them a few years back. They were yellow, but I changed them into little Irish Pubsters with the wave of my Guinness powered magic Shillelagh |

Magic Shillelagh huh? That sound like a lot of fun. I hope it keeps you out of trouble. Lori |
