The call of a word a day..

I would rather assume its the GRE bug that catches up with every individual in town during the penultimate semester at college,thats forced me into assuming such an unforgiving task.
A task that calls for herculean efforts ...
yes, from your cozy standpoint.. or rather benchspot, it would mean an remorseful motion of that adipose laden belly from the couch to a rather good meditation spot, like the commode or the study room- to pick up a rather sturdy, dusty dictionary - and refer, whether ol' Uncle webster had ever come across such a terminology in those golden days of English past.
But,that aint the same on this side of the planet,for the pain isn't in the search but in the hard constrainment - to stick to a word and not a scent greater, for your dharma beckons to an idea, and a single word is but a creation of intellectual energy amalgamated from its myriad forms in the churning pot of time, to one solid entity- a material being that rather personifies an abstraction of thought.
