me as the "Shrew" 

genesis

words some times look alien - strange.
So familiar they are used every day and yet at any moment they can become foreign and frightening.
I stared at the screen, stared at the word 'sweet' and it didn't look right ... a word I've known since I was a child, a word I've used often enough that it should never cause a problem for my lexicon, ever .... but it did.
That's when it hit me.
We are so mighty, yet so frail.
The human race is full of symbols and imagined powers ... but it's all just an act.
If I can't remember the words then I can't communicate. If I can't communicate then my voice is silenced. If I'm silenced then the creativity inside me has no escape. If my creativity has no escape then I am worthless to you and spiteful to myself.

But it's all okay .... for now.
I remember how to spell 'sweet' - it was hiding in my brain all along, I just had a momentary lapse in humanity, that's all.
So now I introduce myself to this world. I hold no expectations - that would be foolish.
I only hope to contribute, and to make connections to you - whoever you are - that I have reached through a screen.
