Word For The Day, Tuesday September 16, 2014
In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of "Word for the Day".
hypnopompic [hip-nuh-pom-pik]
-adj
Psychology relating to the state existing between sleep and full waking, characterized by the persistence of dreamlike imagery.
[1900-05; hypno- + Greek pomp (ḗ) sending away (see pomp ) + -ic]
las noticias [noh-TEES-ee-ahs]
-n
news
Ellos siempre ven las noticias por la tarde.
They always watch the news in the evening.
Rub the sleep out of your eyes and get to class!
Hypnopompic

Between
Between the dreams and the waking,
As dawn comes up in the land,
There comes a moment of clarity,
That I feel I could touch with my hand.
I can know that I’m no longer dreaming,
But my mind doesn’t say that it’s wrong,
That the dream-stuff still may linger,
The way music trails off in a song.
So at that moment’s perception,
As I rise quite refreshed from my rest,
I form up a flower of loveliness,
To remind me of how I’ve been blessed.
Then as the long day develops,
While dealing with folks and their schemes,
I lower my head for a moment,
To breathe from the flower I dreamed.

one where they issue straight jackets.
Although I’m still hypnopompic, I think I remember that it’s my birthday today.
Birthday!
Thank you very much. See your FReep Mail.
Well, happy birthday!
you standing there with your two long hands, couldn’t bring a gift or anything ; )
That looks suspiciously familiar, like maybe from last Saturday?
So, she’s re-gifting.
same color scheme but diff bouquet, we had callas in ours. Amazingly, they still had them on the altar this Sunday, they were a little “antiquey” looking but still lovely.
Seen this?
I love fall flowers, one reason I am glad they got married in Sept instead of June. Honeymooners arrive home this aft. They were at the gate at 3 am our time. I think they fly home via Munich, at least that’s where they changed planes en route there last week.
I have coq au vin in the crockpot.
Each day, although I’m hypnopompic
I try to create a cute limerick
About Barack or Michelle
Hey—can anyone tell
Me if either of them has a prom pic?
