First of all, my calculating mind is saying that noun should be spelled nown.  The mysteries of the English language continue.

Anyway –  person, place or thing.  Or … more subtly and delightfully – value, principle, of the soul.

I don’t get excited by a door, but “integrity” warms my heart.

Many moons ago, a teacher introduced me to content analysis.  Take a piece of writing and see if the author has used certain words frequently, or similar words.  That will tell you something about the person’s perspective … and heart.

So here’s a Facebook user in response to some post about US politics, in which many people commenting were critical of the person posting.  I look for nouns that join …

I’m so disheartened reading these mix of comments.

We have allowed our politics and our blind allegiance to political and religious ideology to cripple us as a nation from even seeing the truth.

We are human, first and foremost. With the responsibility to care for each other, especially our most vulnerable, and our planet.

This division has to end between our political parties. Citizens acting out of fear, anxiety, and rage are predisposed to directing all those feelings, and that blame to the “other side”. That division is what fuels the devolution of our very democracy.

There are no sides when it comes to protecting and defending our constitution, our people, and our planet. Which are all currently under very real threats.

Thank you for speaking the truth, and thank you for protecting and defending the constitution.

I would like to have coffee with this fine human being
