Why do words have such an immense impact on our lives? Why can certain phrases or words send us over the edge, into a fit of fury or a distraught confusion?
Words like Cerebral Palsy, love, retard, hiccup, alcohol, amistad, hippie and hope all have incredibly packed punches for me.
In my life, I could define these words in terms of my experiences, my thoughts, hopes, fears, dreams, and humans. I won’t do them tonight, I’m just sort of looking for general responses to words or your connections to my words.
