Letters from the Wasteland

April 6, 2012 By Marit 34 Comments

Some words 'taste better' than other words. Yes, 'taste'... hold them on your tongue. Press them against your palate like a toffee. That is the way to taste words. I love words. Words like Westenwind (which is far nicer than the English 'West wind') Kaleidoscoop (sounds the same in both … [Read more...]

Are you used to the New Year yet? Are you getting into the daily routine again?

28 lists…

March 9, 2011 By Marit 12 Comments
