Today's word is:
I can't say that active/actively is one of my over used words, but I can see how that wave is active... erasing the words over and over again.

***
An abstraction is a concept that acts as a super-categorical noun for all subordinate concepts, and connects any related concepts as a group, field, or category. (Clear?) An abstraction is a word like love, hate, joy, beauty, cunning, disgust. In this game we turn them into a kind of poetry or a piece of flash fiction.The rules are simple. You can change them around.
1: Abstraction plus verb plus place
2: Describe what the abstraction is wearing
3: Summarize the action
Today's ABSTRACTION is:
Loneliness, conceived in our brains,
hides behind the mask of longing
and refuses to show its true emptiness.

Being Thankful
Today I'm thankful for beaches.
It's summer! Come join me for a seabath!
Caneel Bay, St. John
Hawksnest, St. John
Big Maho, St. John
Reef Bay, St. John
And Trunk Bay, St. John, one of the ten most beautiful and most photographed beaches in the world.
It used to belong to my family, it's where I learned to swim. Now it belongs to everyone.
What are you thankful for? Care to try your hand at an Abstraction and leave it in the comments? Got a favorite alternative for active/actively? Is it even a word you over use?
