If you’re like me, it sometimes takes a documentary or a news segment or a song or an out-loud recollection with an old friend to get you dwelling more feelingly in the facts of your own past.
I saw the title of this email while prepping dinner at a summer camp. I read it as “True Love Awaits”. These words offer themselves to me as something hopeful…having been hurt and rejected recently. Words are interesting, powerful things. I’m not alway sure what to make of them.
On another note, I was having a conversation with someone over ice cream about two hours ago. He said, “Synonymous. We’ve been using that word quite often recently.” We were comparing words together.
While being a post that is a vehicle for an article that’s being offered/affirmed, I’ve come to appreciate the seriousness with which you play with language (here and elsewhere). It does matter what we say, the words we use, how we ‘integrate’ ‘things’. ‘True love waits’ until…true love arrives? Is experienced? The expression of true love is in the waiting? mmm… probably that last would be where I stick my momentary meaning, for now.

Excellent thoughts here. Thank you for pointing us to that episode.

“True Love Awaits”

Our punchline soon became:
“These words are ambidextrous!”
