Morphed!

The Word in English

Anyone may contribute thought to this conversation by writing to Mom at RainbowWay.org.  Her address is crispyeager3@Gmail.com.  On Sunday, Grandad was the first to write, "I don't understand."  He was expressing the thoughts of many of us children.  We played a game that Mom calls Testy Sea.  The name of the game demonstrates how letters morph, gradually changing with meaning as children play with words generation following generation, to create new worlds.

In our earliest years, we children learned from our parents a version of this game commonly known as finger pointing.  Quickly the game morphed into blaming one another and complaining, to Dad against Mom or to Mom against Dad.  The psychologist calls this morphed version of the game "splitting."  By adolescence it has morphed into testing everyone and everything to see how much personal power we can exercise in society and over Mother Earth.
