AWAKENING THE SPIRIT

Words are those independent sounds expressing meaning. Worldwide, humanity has developed its own unique set of words to convey the deepest meaning expressed in their souls as well as the external world. Language is the vehicle or system by which humanity communicates with one another through words. Worldwords are collections of the human family's words that awaken us to consciousness and responsibility for ourselves and our neighbors. Language like anything else goes through periods of becoming extinct like many of the world's animal species and plants. Loss of these words means loss of meaning that can no longer be easily recovered. In appreciation for the beauty and meaning of words' expressions, Worldwords was formed as a celebration of humanity's vehicle to strengthen their lives. Each day of the month has a word from a different culture. A pronunciation guide is given, its origins and a brief meaning followed by a commentary regarding the use of the word for our lives. At the very end is a brief inspirational sentence. Included is a list of the words and a lovely bibliography. Each word calls us to reflect upon it. Many express concepts that are not easy to translate in English but carry profound meanings for our lives. Through meditating on these diverse words, you will become inspired and energized.
