It may be punctured as a bladder is punctured and patched and blown up again and if you have not had it does not exist for you. All people talk of it, but those who have had it are marked by it, and I would not wish to speak of it further since of all things it is the most ridiculous to talk of and only fools go through it many times.
  Ernest Hemingway

en DAMN, v. A word formerly much used by the Paphlagonians, the meaning of which is lost.

en That word refers also to the larger issue of seeking and, we hope, finding meaning and purpose in one's life. People gravitate toward a particular religion because they are searching for meaning. Organized religion can fill some, but not all the spiritual needs of every person. The series addresses the spirituality needs in a broad perspective not possible confined by the boundaries of a specific denomination.

en I am a dreamer of words, of written words. I think I am reading; a word stops me. I leave the page. The syllables of the word begin to move around. Stressed accents begin to invert.

And the words wander away, looking in the nooks and crannies of vocabulary for new company, bad company.
  Gaston Bachelard
