Tasting Words

For the ear trieth words, as the mouth tasteth meat. Let us choose to us judgment: let us know among ourselves what is good. (Job 34:3-4 KJV)

A picture may be worth a thousand words, but...

For a writer it is important to run words through your mind and over the tongue, tasting the sound they make.

As a communicator it is necessary to pass words over the palate, tasting the feeling they give you.

A wordsmith enjoys the power encompassed in words, tasting, the feel of words well used. Not just any words, good words, better words, and in the end the best words to express thoughts and emotions, people, places, and things.

Like a food or drink connoisseur tasting the words in order to use the most vibrant, colorful language to bring the picture you are developing into focus, because...

A picture maybe worth a thousand words, but the pen is mightier than the sword.

Words:

Use them for all they are worth.

"(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)" (2 Corinthians 6:2 KJV)
