Words are sacred.

Words are shapes that convey meaning. They are sacred to most human beings :

• Certainly to the Judeo-Christian traditions: 
  "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word
    was with God, and the Word was God." - Genesis
  
  

• Even non-religious folks who do not believe in theism (i.e. atheists)....or the classical conception of God...
  
  
• Even the increasingly popular category of faith called the "Spiritual and not religious."
  
  

 If we can find the right words, we can bring a mnemonic of sacredness into our physical spaces...

However for the wordy - writers specifically - words are both universally valued and acknowledged to be inadequate to convey the mystery of the sacred (mysterium tremendum)

But they are what we got.  

With words we co-create our world.  Poets do it with words.  Gardens can too.

What are your sacred words? Would you share yours with us in the comments?

Wabi-sabi represents a comprehensive Japanese world view or aesthetic centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection. The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is "imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete." It is a concept derived from the Buddhist teaching of the three marks of existence, specifically impermanence, suffering and absence of self-nature. - Wikipedia
