Today enjoy the smile of words, the Logophile Smile. To be a logophile is to be a lover of words, so today let the words of the smile become a part of it. Today be curious and playful and enjoy the many words that do make up your smile. Make a list, draw or put things together in honor of all those words that create the curvature.
They can be the physical words that convey the appearance such as curved, upturned, plump, expansive or note the size. These are the descriptive words that bring the muscles that create the movement from all the thoughts and feelings into play when a smile appears. Note all the physical characterisitics of your smile and that of others encountered today. What makes up the physical appearance? Note that we don’t often know why a person smiles, and we may or may not find out what was behind it. We do however take what we see at face value because it is a generally pleasant experience. Discover with delight!
Behind what we do is the way we feel. Our emotions trigger what our face conveys. So write the words of emotion that make up your smile and like an artist, sit in a crowd and begin to see if you can note the emotions of other smiles too. What we think is behind what we feel so consider while in personal observance or gaining the outward perspectives, log in what words might describe the thoughts that make up the feelings that bring the action of the smile into place. What thoughts make you smile?
Finally behind the thoughts is the values we espouse and while this may be trickier to note the value of others, it is a wonderful opportunity to scribe or detail the words that make up what you are all about, what you believe and what you are. As you do you will pick out those words that bring the essence of what your smile is all about and in those words you may even discover a correlation or maybe even notice that path of your smile from what you value to what you think to what you feel to what you do. The resulting smile is full of words that describe all that and often never conveyed in this manner,
Your smile sure says a lot. When you look at a long list of what you have discovered, you will begin to see the power that is invested in what you show to the world and what inevitably you will receive back.
May the words be great and fill volumes of wonder in what you create!
Your fan,
