Today I'd like you to get active with your vocab zhushing.
I'm going to ask you to do three things for 'Word Of The Week':
#1 Watch the following video - it takes about 5 minutes and is totally worth the investment.
#2 Think of another word besides ephemeral to describe what you see.
#3 Include ephemeral in one of your posts and link back to this one.
Of course ephemeral has a poignant connection with my blog.
How? Well I have a delicate bloom and butterfly for my logo - both truly ephemeral beauties.
Now I can't wait to read your responses and your extra words to describe this movie.
Mine? Astounding!
Happy day!
i have 3. focused-fabulous-fleeting.
ReplyDeleteholy cow...
Holy cow indeed T!
DeleteLove your descriptors.
I think it was astonishlingly symmetrical, to be savioured and also quite simple. Not knowing the history of the piece, I found it quite inspiring to see this need, this determination, this drive in someone. Quite thought provoking. Thank you sweet Felicity.
ReplyDeleteYou've elucidated something that I couldn't quite put my finger on - the drive, the determination.
DeleteI'm heading off to the beach today, I wonder what kind of lines I'll draw in the sand.

Wonderfully meditative! It reminds me of Buddhist sand art. But I have to wonder how he can draw circles like that...I can hardly do it on paper.
ReplyDeleteI know Michael, I wondered that too.
DeleteHis circles are so symmetrical, repeatedly.
The Buddhist sand art connection isn't one I'd made, but now you mention it - yes!
Happy day!
Like words of songs on the radio, I'm surprised by this definition :) I dont think I could be trusted to use this word through the week - I'm sure I'd morph the meaning as I'd go along :)
ReplyDeleteNow that could be a 'WoW' post for another time - words we've misheard!
Deletex
Interesting word. Have a lovely day, Kellie xx
ReplyDeleteYou too Kellie, I hope that the beauty that is Sydney at Easter is more than ephemeral.

Out of this world. Patient, deliberate and transcending. J x
ReplyDeleteTrue, true and true.
DeleteHappy day Lovely! x
Driven, determined, possibly demented!!
ReplyDeleteAlmost mystical really...like crop circles
I think you'd definitely have to have an element of all three 'D's to do something like that - for sure.
DeleteThe precision really struck me - it would be meditative too, particularly with the lull of the ocean as your accompanying melody.

I have found the words to this piece, quietly powerful. xx
ReplyDeleteTrue enough. x
DeleteI love your blog because your blog loves language! I love your blog! :) :) :)
ReplyDeleteAlso, I want to say that I love this word! (It's on my blog address!) Understanding the ephemerality of life truly helps us live each and every moment of our lives to the fullest... Ephemeral is a beautiful word...
