word.play: four is a four letter word

FOUR
four letter words get a bad rap but really they are one of the few numbers that mean what they say number/letter-wise. sure there are plenty of *cuss* words but there are many beautiful, profound ones too. i think what i love most about this silly exercise is the way it has made me take a look at things long taken for granted.

{sets}
life.live.dead
work.play
love.fate.soul.mate.
wish.hope.here.know.wise
soap.dirt
leaf.tree
rain.snow.hail.wind

bird.song.jazz
rare.true.real

FORMULAS FOR LIFE

maybe we need to do twice the looking and listening vs. talking.

everyone can be a hero.
