101 Words of Life and Death
What are words worth?
The following are 101 words of life and death. Before doing this I set a few rules. The first rule is that I could not use any proper names (people, places, etc) and I could not repeat any words.
I started with the word Fear and the idea is that each successive word is related somehow to the proceeding word. The following is the result.
Fear
Tears
Joy
Jump
Exercise
Gym
Machines
Factory
Workers
Union
Voice

A New Beginning
Tony couldn’t sit still, crossing and uncrossing his legs, trying to calm his trembling hands as Clara stood at the office window deep in thought. The airline ticket in his shirt pocket moved to the beat of his heart¬– each beat bringing back the nightmare causing memories of the words he’d spoken over ten years ago. Thanks to Clara he’d finally gained the courage to buy that ticket.

This is such an interesting concept
This was a fun read.
This is an approach that I can easily see being applied to techniques to enhance reflection, like meditation, writing, finding your "why", therapy and so on.
A Dalmation for each word. Emotions felt.

This was an interesting poem, sometimes I felt like I could tell where you were at in life, and others left me wondering
Very clever, Rick! I liked the progression and connection between the words. I also felt a sense of movement that the words created…an increase of speed as I read. You are so amazingly talented, my awesome friend!!!
Very interesting thought exercise. I enjoyed it thanks.
You know? It is only a couple words before you start almost piecing together the same outcome. This is great!
