words are the blocks I use to build the world
Every day, every minute, every time I truly listen to my heart it becomes increasingly obvious that my world is lived through words - I swim in language, am devoted to literature, poetry, inventive use of tongue and mind. And although I make my living as a coder (and have had some epiphanies on that score to follow in another post), everything I do has to serve as a foundation for the time when I can make my living doing the thing I love. Or I betray myself, like so many of us do as a matter of habit. I refuse to do that. I throw down the gauntlet today. I will nurture my word herd and, without disparaging the present, build my way towards future in which I can live in good faith with my true self.
