Wrapped in a story

I love playing with words. I love how they conjure meaning and emotion.

Each word is a metaphor, and each metaphor reveals a story.

The word Kahu, I shared yesterday, for example, means; protector, guide, guardian, fire tender, cook. A whole world in four letters.

Language is the tool I have to move what moves inside me to inside of you.

During the transport and transmission sometimes things don't translate all that well.

You and I have similar experiences of truth, but not precisely the same.

Then more words are required, more stories, pictures, and metaphors.

So what moves you will also move me.
