Where is that place where BElonging lives?
How DO I get there
From here?
Right Now?
Oh…
Choosing BElong wasn’t easy. It’s a feeling I’ve felt too
infrequently to BE able to write about without a certain level of ickiness
attached. And then there is the part where I have sought to erect massive walls
so another or others wouldn’t BElong. Definitely a sticky word.
Still, I am grateful for digging deeper into this word. It
is always enlightening to find out where the dictionary spends most of its
word-load. In BElong’s case it is:
An intransitive verb. BE property
of somebody or something; BE linked to somebody or something; BE classified as
part of something; BE a component; BE in right place [having a right place?!];
BE accepted somewhere… [capitalisation mine ;~D]
Okay.. So is that how I define it? Or isn’t my definition
more of what is NOT BElonging?!
Funny how that happens. Despite learning how a word is
defined, I can still define it for myself and pay little to NO attention to
what those learned folks at Encarta, in this case, say BElong means.
One thing I DO know is that BElonging when I am inside
looking out at who does NOT is really much worse than outside-looking-in…
I love you, Currie
