Pictures and living things make stories without words all the time. It’s a bit simple but I think my favorite word has come to be art because it’s what I love in everything. When I did counseling finding metaphors and meaning in everything my clients did and realizing that there could be 1000 more meanings that I wasn’t getting was my favorite part and that’s art. Seeing the motivation, struggle, and originality in combat sports is also my favorite part of mma the art part. I also like the same thing about books and tv shows. So yeah, I think art is my favorite word.

That’s beautiful and so true! The first discovered stories were pictures drawn on cave walls- I knew this but forgot. Thanks for pointing that out. I should have said books or novels, not stories. But then again there’s graphic novels which are art. Thank you for such an in depth response and perspective. ?

Its funny because it is pronounced different than it looks like. Also the O in the middle looks like what it represents.
