The priest says “May peace be with you”.

The congregation reply “And also with you”.

If you ever attend a Catholic mass, you would have heard of this “conversation” we all have with our priest. And it has become a habitual reply from all of us.

What happened was this - he approached the counter staff, greeted her but his friendliness wasn’t being reciprocated. Courtesy of our airport staff - checked.

Words. How very important such string of letters are. Without them, our worlds will be short of colour, meaning and love.

I’ve been wowed by many words as I’ve been put off by some. Stuart is clever with words, and he definitely banked on this forte during our courtship to make me go weak in my knees. Am I moved! :D 

Without further ado, let’s see what I have for you now - words that rhyme, chime and charm me, all at one time.
