Hello Souscayrous,

>What's in a word? Everything!
We should tend words as we do gardens for when we use
words we say something. Words are seeds, plants and
their fruits, meaning.

I 've found your postings very interesting and
illuminating - not least in showing me how much I have
to learn about the English language. After reading
your last post, I reflected that I never feel confused
and irritated when I look at a flower, or an apple for
that matter. However, when I read your posts, I feel a
deep sense of inadequacy at not being able to
understand your well crafted sentences, or to pick up
on the rhythms of your language.

I wonder, would it be possible to provide a
translation with your future posts? Perhaps just
distilling the meaning into a few words at the end of
your piece - that way I can just skip to that part to
help me understand what it is you're saying.

Do you think that words can be weeds too - you know,
the pretty sort of parasitic weeds that have lots of
lovely flowers and choke the life out of the flowers
and apple trees that they take over?

Thank you.
Charles.
