Getting around the corner...

By Vichara

Perhaps if we were given all the time in the world we could figure out all the answers to troubling questions about life. Of course the truth is that each one of us has a finite term in which we get to express ourselves in whatever means we are drawn to at various times in our life. It would be nice to know this but for some these realizations come later in life through experience. Not to worry. Have patience with yourself as you discover the ways to express yourself and be cognizant of others as they are on their way as well. You both may have an answer that the other is looking for and help each other around the next corner of life.

Did you know?
The word "face" may be a pretty generic word, but it has several high-flown synonyms. "Physiognomy," for instance, refers to facial features thought to reveal qualities of temperament or character ("I thought I could detect in his physiognomy a mind owning better qualities than his father ever possessed. . . ." -- Emily Brontë, Wuthering Heights). "Countenance" is often used to refer to the face as an indication of mood or emotion ("Mina struggled hard to keep her brave countenance. . . ." -- Bram Stoker, Dracula). "Visage" can refer to the face of a person or an animal, and it can also refer to the appearance of nonliving things, as in "the dirty visage of the old abandoned factory."
