* resplendent*

my new word is
R E S P L E N D E N T
in my dictionary it is translated as :
schitterend 
glansrijk
and those are beautiful words in dutch .
and I love beautiful words.
I wonder why I have never seen this word ?
My dream is to 
have beautiful books next to my bed
with poems in english
so I can learn
so much more from the language
than I do now.

when I translate 
SCHITTEREND to english
my book says : SHINING
when I translate
GLANSRIJK to english
my book says :RADIANCE

Well now you know 
it is not so easy at all to choose 
the right words
for what I realy wish to write / say.

In a  blog writing is one thing
but when there is friendship
and there is MAIL ( BY POST )
I mean writing letters ......
well that is a whole other challenge .

How I love it when mister postman
brings me letters or postcards 
from far far away
with beautiful stamps 
and handwritings 
my heart always 
JUMPS OF JOY
when I find such surprises .
and always and always
I learn
I learn from the words 
by the person behind the words 
and
I get to know
the person behind the choosen words

I just love that

  1. You too my dear friend? You are a lover of sounds, of letters, of everything about the organization of these magical symbols that when put together, form MEANING....and that we all have different language and that we can learn them is my joy as a teacher and as a student of poetry. KEEP READING in English; your English is already so fascinatingly wonderful. How I long to write you a handwritten letter. I just got home from having yet another long day of meetings, but my Thanksgiving vacation is officially STARTED. It is a splendid thing to be at home and write. Much love, and thank you so much for coming to visit. Thanksgiving is a state of mind, not just one day. Anita

  3. My dream is to have beautiful books too, Francis. I have been starting to organize two book shelves filled with books. My favorite are the children's books. It's nice to get letters and cards and notes when the postman comes. It's such a surprise.

    GLANSRIJK - RADIANCE....what a beautiful word. Enjoy this Christmas season, my dear friend.

    love,
    ~Sheri
