Word Combinations

Isn't it interesting that some words, when combined together, go beyond what either word means.

For example:

now - at the present moment

and

then - in the past or the future

combined

"now then" - which is sort of like, give me your attention, or be aware of the present moment.

See how it works.

There are some truly wonderful word combinations.

"Loving-kindness" - tender kindness motivated by or expressing affection.

Not only loving but kind. Not only the presence of both but some hybrid of tenderness and affection.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

"Wonderful" - Capable of eliciting wonder; astonishing. Full of wonder.

Something so great that the wonder of the moment fills one up.

In addition, there are combinations of words that are not joined but form phrases of surpassing descriptiveness.

"Wonderfully Lovely"

"Scrumptiously sweet"

"Surpassing Beauty."

"Intoxicating presence"

"Gossamer touch"

"Soothing cool"

"Refreshing spirit"

How wonderful is this thing we call language. A tool by which we can combine words to express the uttermost of emotion, thought or deed.
