Sure, from here I can suck water from the air, I can move a mountain with a sneeze, I can spit over the edge and watch it wash away a grey-lit city. From here my ice-cream lasts longer. And with one breath I can whistle any whistle I ever wanted to touch my lips.
I can call out her name and she'll hear me no matter where she is.
I can watch the sun orbit the earth and change colors only when it's so close to my eye that it looks the same as the sky. I lean against the moon (I've done this many times). I yawn and swallow stars. I snuggle between atmospheres when I take a nap. From here I can do anything.
But I'm afraid of heights, so please bring me down. Lower me gently and place me on the ground with crooked neck.

How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

about me
Just sitting here, wandering around. Peeking out from time to time. Wondering what's on the other side of the hill.
Me and my dog. Me and my running shoes.
I'll drink the drink and eat the food and rub my hands in the dirt. I'll do handstands in the snow. Laughing and dancing with a straight face.

about wording why
Wording Why is a word workstation of sorts, a space to create vivid snapshots, to tinker with sentences and sounds and pacing, to take things I've experienced (big or small, real or imagined) and paint them into something new.
In the beginning, elements of truth outweighed fiction, but that trend has reversed over the years. Although many posts still contain elements of truth, this should not be confused with a journal or personal nonfiction.

Invictus
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
-William Ernest Henley
