There’s a certain category of words that are slightly out of use, yet that I find attractive. Slightly playful.
Dandy.
Groovy.
Quirky.
They are fun to insert into moments of conversation. It’s like they invite a temporary suspension of the rules of the words that should be spoken.
Hmm…. I like temporary suspensions.
“Zeal” is another. And my friend Nicola used it recently in what of her invitations (Nicola will be featured next week in the B & B Series).
Zeal — it’s a tiny bit outrageous. How’s your zeal? Where’s your zeal coming from these days?
Nicola contexted her use of zeal with “curious, engaged, and alive.”
Gonna make it a “zeal” day.
Join me? Or us next Wednesday.
