I am a sucker for articulation...

Back in the day when our forefathers were gatherers and hunters, their need for survival not only led to the development of 'weapons', but also a mechanism to perform basic communication. Ostensibly, this led to the creation of symbols, signals, gestures and finally, the spoken word. As our ancestors evolved, the spoken word, while invented for perfunctory means, began to take shape on its own. Words pieced together, with a dash of grammar and syntax, became language. The more right brained ones (Of course, one could argue whether people with such abilities are more right brained versus left.), with fertile imaginations, saw the beauty in the concept of language as a means of expression of thoughts, ideas and philosophies, resulting in elegant works of authorship.

I love words and the notion of language (if that wasn't already apparent in this piece!). Words such as rejuvenate, rekindle, inculcate, imbibe, cogitate, elegant, eloquent, and catharisis are music to my ears. I for one, value people's ability to piece together words to cogently and elegantly articulate a thought or a notion. It is immensely pleasing to either express or hear someone express their views using the beauty of verbiage and/or the rigor of logic.

In short, I am a sucker for articulation...!

PS: Is articulation getting a rarer trait amongst us?
