Names

   I have always liked playing with names.I like looking up the meanings and spellings of old ones.  I would have had more children just to be able to use more names (although I had the best children already). Lately we in our family have been a bit preoccupied with names  It actually is a small hobby of mine seeking unusual but old ones, seeing how the rhythm of two together flow or hearing the sing-song lilt in a name coupling.
   To me names are like butterflies.  You speak them out into the air and most of them fly away, a few will hover around the same place but eventually, one will softly alight on the flower that perfectly suits them.
   I have always believed that names have a certain power in our universe, that our names echo throughout the eternities.We understand in our faith that names help to define our souls and lead us to places we wish to go.  I like names.
