In today's world of slang, the letter Z is also a word, perhaps more so than X. So there we have it. The beginning of the alphabet A is a word as is the end, Z. The English equivalent of the Greek alpha and omega. The beginning and the end.
So I was wrong about X. Shoot me! Well, please don't take that literally. There are people out there who would love to have permission to do just that; and shoot me. I can't say that I blame them, but that's a story (or several actually) for another day. At any rate, no doubt in the American slang use of Z, it is a word. And just a few days ago I thought A and X were the only two letters that stood alone as words in their own right, even if one of them wasn't official. Now we have one official, A, and two American slang, unofficial, common use (I guess common use is like common law) letter words, X and Z.
The thought has occurred to me, that as text messaging moves forward in our culture, I'll stand for further correction. For now, this post completes at least my first foray into the alphabet. I haven’t answered the question as yet of what will come next here beneath the Carolina moon. Another trip through the alphabet? A walk through numbers? Back to my nothing but rambling thoughts and mental sputters? I’m just not so sure at this point. One ending is always another beginning. Life and energy are cycles and circles. Unlike crop circles, they are true mysteries. There is never an ending without a beginning, even here, beneath the Carolina moon.
Posted by Dread who has entered a new cycle or perhaps has been enveloped by one. Either way, life has changed phases, but God continues to bless each day.
