A part of me is beginning to grok the “real magic” of words. 29 years of intense reading and writing, and I thought I understood words, and it turns out I’ve barely scratched the surface. (It’s probably an infinite fractal onion of layers of “real magic”)

Well I wasn’t reading when I was an infant, but you get the idea. I made up for lost time in between. The magic is when you choose words that are in your personal Goldilocks zone - not mundane, yet not alien, either https://t.co/JVVPmbQh0x

My goal in life is to be a word artist-magician. Words are proxies for thoughts, and a master manipulator of words is a skilled navigator in the tumultuous ocean of meaning. Moana, but the ocean is the mind of humanity https://t.co/KY27aZUguA

you can ask the world for more than you have, but you cannot really ask for more than *you* truly believe you deserve the magic encoded in “be true to your word”, “keep your word”, “be a man/woman of your word” is very old and very powerful https://t.co/cmGDBM43Xc

Most men are aesthetically lobotomized. Stripped of their magic and colours. It’s all connected https://t.co/ZbpH3X3qAw

The story of modernity is the story of amnesia, we have forgotten our powers https://t.co/k5ymUrJ1W0

everything tells a story; the story of modernity is often a story of amnesia https://t.co/aaIaYkZazf

@visakanv Since you tweeted this I've been seriously reconsidering my attire from a new nontraditional angle. Haven't made any great effort to change yet, but am keeping my eyes peeled for opportunities.

@visakanv Now more than ever I feel it's important to try new nontraditional approaches to things.
