Luxuriating in my newly minted blog for now, PARAGRAPHIA. Mmmmm immersed in paragraphs and meanings, I like the graphite sense of writing with a pencil, my compulsive desire to write, paragraphia. My tendency to speak in paragraphs instead of sentences, words going forwards, sides ways and backwards as I consider things from many points of view, parallel, intersecting or even contradictory truths. The disability meaning, para the parallel lives we all lead. Or Parapodium, don't you think that sounds like a soap box platform for disabled people!? Oddly instead it is an an appendage on the body of some marine worms, occurring in pairs on each segment of the worm’s body, used for swimming, crawling, or holding onto things. I rest my case. The word PARAGRAPHIA actually means the writing of words or letters different from the ones intended, as a result of a stroke or disease. Which is just fine too.
I did toy with the equally lovely paralipsis: a rhetorical technique of emphasizing a topic by saying in some way that you will not talk about it, for example, by using the phrase “not to mention”. Parasynthesis the formation of words by a combination of smaller words and additional elements. Which I am very fond of, some of my favourite inventions are artivist (activist artist) and tangulate this is what happens to your feet when the sheets get wound all around them during restless sleep, (tangled and strangulate). New words are called Neologism.Or paralipomena: material added to a literary work as a supplement. Or parhelia: plural of parhelion a bright colored spot on a parhelic circle, often seen in pairs and caused by ice crystals in the atmosphere diffracting light. Also called mock sun, or sundog. The paranormal: the spooky, unexplained, abnormal or supranormal. Supra: transcending, or used in formal writing to refer the reader back to something at an earlier point in the same text.
So welcome to PARAGRAPHIA a mythical place combining all of the above, where more may be possible in a realm devoted to words and writing.
