This is
where my blog attempts acrobatics… well my minutely anyway. I don’t know if
you’ll still be with me after this but, here goes nothing.
I promised a blog about all things wordy and this post is as wordy as a post can get. This month’s Fave 5 is on words, my favourite words to be a little more precise. Yes, yes, I know you’re probably thinking how strange it’s going to be for me to0 use words to write about words but it’s all good…
here they are, my 5 favourite words.

5. Agape
Dictionary definition: Love that is spiritual and not sexual in its nature, seen as a model for humanity.
This word speaks to the notion of unconditional love and that is by far always a lovely notion.

4. Ensoul
Dictionary Definition: To place or cherish in the soul
is this not a great image? Taking something and endowing it with a soul. 10/10 for whoever thought this word up.

3. Insurrection
This is not a sweet whimsy filled, deeply spiritual, inspirational word in sound or meaning. The dictionary defines it as meaning an armed rebellion. I first heard the word on Rhythm City (through David Genaro ofcause), I looked it up and instantly fell in love. It sounds brutal, Raw, offensive almost and yes, that it part of its appeal.

2. Lissome
Meaning limber, supple and/or having the ability to move with ease. Honestly, I just like the way it sounds, plain and simple, no stress, no fuss.

1. Esoteric
This is my current favourite word in the whole wide world. It is defined as being beyond the understanding of an average mind, tough to understand. Intended to be understood by only a particular group or relating to that which is known by a restricted number of people, not publicly disclosed.
I think, if asked to describe myself in one word, this would be it.

this post has inspired me to add a new feature onto the blog which i will call "the word". This feature will highlight a new word on a weekly basis in attempts to grow not just my own but, your vocabulary as well.
