The portrait of a word


If words had faces, what would they "look" like?

Would Joy have golden curls and leave a scent of lilacs in the air?

Would Disdain wear a silk frock fashioned in a strategic way so that when she turns to leave, you can’t help but admire her perfect back?

When Envy turns green, does it look like this?

I wonder if Smile really has perfect teeth?

What would Demure wear to a tea party on Saturday afternoon?

Irresistible "is" because of this...

Beware! Danger ahead!

A strange Weed has made my garden it's home.

There is Peace in my heart...

Before I close this post I'd like to say that my allergies are still in full force, I am highly medicated (that might explain and somehow justify this ramdon exploration within the world of words :0) Thank you all for your inquiries and good wishes xxx

Have a beautiful Thursday!

  1. I imagine "Snarl"...as a lifted lip and a quiet growl of displeasure. Some people and animals do a perfect "snarl" face, without any sound at all, but you get their meaning immediately.

  4. Alina, I just love your posts!!! I come here to be inspired, to be drawn into "thought," and to just relax. On an especially busy day, thank you for drawing me into that zone once again. As I was sitting here reading your post, the third song on your playlist was "My Father's Favorite" from the soundtrack of "Sense and Sensibility." Nothing else can be said, but that this lovely piece by Patrick Doyle is pure inspiration. So, not only did I love your descriptions of the words, but I was reminded how I love the novel, the movie and the music. Now I just have to read it again, watch the movie again, and listen to the piece on my ipod again... Thank you for this lovely morning wake-up!

    I SO relate to the allergy issue. As a child, I lived in misery from spring to fall... but then a change happened following the birth of my oldest son... the allergies calmed down considerably. Though I still have them, they are more manageable, especially living on the coast where the sea breezes wash the pollen out and dump them in the ocean every day. (: And I'm sooo thankful, but always have a huge understanding for anyone dealing with them.

    I know this is a long comment... you've got me going this morning! (: xxxVicki

  6. What a fun post, Alina! You have such a wonderful way with words AND pictures and pictures and words together - you really do! I love your thoughts! I, also, love the smiley photo and, well, lots of them but I DO love Cary Grant!!!!! =]

    Love, Katy

    I suppose a medicated grog is much much better than sneezing and wheezing and tearing and itching! Hang in there.

  7. Hello Alina,
    I just love the machinations of your mind! You write so freely and beautifully! I particularly love the motherhood picture (however irresistible is pretty wonderful as well). Alina I would love to sent you an email, is there a way to contact you? Thank you for your fun thoughts!

  8. Wonderful collection of photos and such an imaginative and fun post. My sister and I used to play a game when we were kids - which animals resembled certain people!!

    It's always a joy to stop by your lovely blog for something that little bit special. Thank you Alina!

    Hope your allergies leave you soon:-)

  10. Dear Kath, you're right, a snarl can "say" a thousand words :) xx

    Dear Kiki, Jo, Miss Sandra: thank you! xx

    Dear Vicki, I am so glad to know my words can get "you going" :0) I was asthmatic as a child (runs in my family) then it changed into seasonal allergies but I notice they are getting worse as I get older. Oh well, at least we are blessed enough to be able to go to a doctor and get medicine, a privilege denied to so many, right? xx

    Dear Katy, you too have a way with words. So lively, I feel as if you are right here with us in this room! Thank you. Hope the puppies and mother (and bunny) are doing great xx

    Welcome Tricia! I'd love to hear from you! My email address is thepurplecaravan@yahoo.com xx

    Dear Jeanne, you are right, some animals do look like some people. So fun! xx

    Dear Ruthie, thank you for stopping by, you must be so busy! Hope you settle real soon and continue creating all the magic you do xx

    Thank you lovely ladies! XXX

  12. I really enjoy the metaphorical aspects of this post. There are so many emotional connections made here about the connotative power of language.

Albert Schweitzer said "In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit" I thank you all!
