Words and love. Partners. Connection. Language. Expression. The symbiocene. A minnesong of togethership. I love the poetry shared by you and Josh. This was a beautiful read. We don’t fall in love. We rise in it. Indeed. We are love! Thanks Veronika 🙏❤️

What a wonderfully creative approach to words for Valentine's Day. The linguistic net has been cast wide and deep, and the catch of verbiont-fishes will feed the mind for a long time to come. 💜 🔥

I love this piece, Veronika!

Thank you for the fun portmanteaus at the end!

I've been enjoying thinking of words more and more as 'spell-casters' over the past few years, (especially within my study of Natural law vs Maritime legal system) and am more careful and conscientious in choosing the words I use, in knowing the power of our utterances.

I'm inspired to ask if you're aware of Laurel Airica's work? She's amazing....I feel it's right up your alley, sister!
