Gardens at Bayonne introduces the 'Word of the Day!"

The Word of the Day (WOTD)

How powerful! A single word. That single word is borne out of a single thought.

How appropriate that the first word selected for this maiden effort is: ephemeral

e·phem·er·al

/əˈfem(ə)rəl/


adjective
1.
lasting for a very short time.
"fashions are ephemeral"
synonyms: transitory, transient, fleeting, passing, short-lived, momentary, brief, short, cursory, te
mporary, impermanent, short-term; More
noun
1.
an ephemeral plant.

The idea that a solitary word invokes, subtly, an effort to understand what is meant at the
moment the word is presented. Communication at an elementary level; transmission, initially
presented in written form, reception by another, often gently coaxing an attempt to pronounce
the lone word.

The real magic in this exercise, occurs when both the transmitter and the receiver endeavor to
define the word! The embryonic word offers an explosion of the thought connected with what
began as a single utterance, now has blossomed.

Brilliant!
