The world and the word were both born from silence. Order drawn from chaos; a way of defining that which is beyond definition; a way of telling the person beside you what you see -- how things appear from your place in the mess; a means of hope. Maybe that is why I love words. I admit I am addicted to the written word. I cannot remember a time when I was not addicted to it. Written words are not like people; they demand committment but not consideration. They do not turn and alter their voice and their meaning when you turn away from them or give them to another. They provide doorways to places where security is guaranteed. Always.
