Pearls...One word at a time....

Every word almost a sentence; every sentence a victory.
~~~Saint Vincent of Lerins

Today's pearl on writing and reading is for both readers and writers. As I read this last night, I considered what Vincent was saying. How no matter how little time one had or what slight progress one made, every word and sentence made a difference, reached a goal....

It's interesting to think of everything that goes into the things we read. Each word and sentence so well-thought out...As we skim over them, we never consider the aches and pains the author went through to deliver the just-right image, the perfect lyricism of thought and sound and sentence.

While you read today, consider the gift the writer gave you, the hours of toil and thought simply to produce something to please you.

As you write today, consider each word is your VICTORY!!! Never mind the grating of that little sand, that kernel of thought that got under skin, soon, you will be presenting a pearl of your own for your readers!
