i come across these two words through friends. i did not know their meanings, so i looked up the dictionary and learnt of them. what stuck to me was the thought that words are beautiful, that they are the gatekeepers to our consciousness. words stitch our thoughts, texture our feelings, layer our understanding, embroider our emotions, cloth our life. it's simply incredible, this world of words that we inhabit and call our own. i cannot begin to tell you how excited i am.
- petrichor-a pleasant smell that frequently accompanies the first rain after a long period of warm, dry weather
- aposiopesis- the device of suddenly breaking off in speech
