What are YOUR OWN answers/beliefs?

I believe in an entity that is sometimes called the muse. Some things that I have written I do not recall writing. It seems as though they wrote themselves, and just used me to get through. So, if you mean, do I think there are little people living in my typewriter, no, I do not.
I do believe though, that some force does lurk around me at certain times, while writing.

2. Do you believe words have actual souls and are conscious?

Science would have my a$$ if I said yes. I think words can only have the life that the writer/speaker put into them, however, some written and spoken words were so powerful, that they still resonate today, and in THAT way, they do seem alive. A word cannot, in itself, have a consciousness.

3. Do you believe word druids created the English language?
Umm, no. I'm certainly not a historian, or a linguist by any measure, but, I always assumed that the English language evolved from other languages. Sorry, I can't back that up at the moment. Too much going on in the house for me to do a lengthy research on that.
