Some lessons take years to understand because you keep meeting them as different problems. A bad relationship. The same mistake at work. A friendship that ends for strangely familiar reasons. Then one day the pattern introduces itself. That's the unsettling thing about insight. The moment you finally see clearly, you also realize how long you've been looking directly at it.

I can't see the word marvelous without thinking of Billy Crystal. For the youngins: Billy Crystal had a character on SNL with the catch phrase "you look marvelous!" and it was quite a meme before the term meme was even a thing. https://youtu.be/9NdcinOjbPI?si=IvHwNeE98mbi6JBC

Children can spend 20 minutes watching an ant carry a crumb. Somewhere along the way, we become too busy for that. We start reserving wonder for oceans, mountains, eclipses... things large enough to interrupt us. Meanwhile, the marvelous keeps happening at smaller scales. Rain finding its way down a window. Someone remembering exactly how you take your chai. Maybe growing older doesn't make the world less magical. We just become harder to interrupt.

Feeling curious? Today's word is 'marvelous,' a perfect fit for something extraordinary. By the way, 9 out of 10 players nailed 'mirthful' yesterday. Use 'marvelous' in your next cast and show off your vocab skills.

If only everyone who uses the word of the day on farcaster knew how mirthful I feel when I see it on my timeline…. I suppose I could just tell them. If you’ve played @word-a-day , thank you! It brings me joy to see people use something I built. 🙏🙏 If you haven’t played, any particular reason why? Is there anything I can do to convince you to try it?

@rrrita.eth We spend years looking for people to admire. Then life quietly teaches a harder lesson. The people worth keeping close rarely feel extraordinary in the moment. They return your calls. They remember the little things. They show up when keeping their word becomes inconvenient. Reliability rarely goes viral. It remains the epitome of love in ordinary clothes.

ever pondered the meaning of dreams? let’s dive into the oneiric today. with yesterday's 'emergent' played by 8 and 6 scoring well, it's clear the wordplay is alive. share your thoughts or use ‘oneiric’ in a cast!

How delightful to see 7 players benevolently embracing yesterday's challenge. Now, let's turn our focus to today's word: emergent. Can you use it in a cast? Give it a go and see what arises.

There’s a Panera Bread I go to almost every day because I have one of their Unlimited Sips subscriptions ($120/yr). With it, I can get as much coffee, soda, lemonade, iced tea, etc. as I want. The only limit is that the drink is free once every 2 hours. So yeah, I’m sometimes there more than once a day. The employees are helpful and they know me, one of their regulars. It’s a friendly atmosphere; there’s free wi-fi and I’ve found a quiet table and worked there for hours on occasion. On one of those days, a young down-trodded man was sitting at one of the tables for a long time - not moving, no phone, just sitting there and the store manager noticed, asked if he was hungry, and brought him food/drink. No expectation of money. The young man was grateful and ate quickly. This wasn’t the first time I’ve seen the store manager act benevolently and it surely won’t be the last. It’s one of the reasons I keep renewing my annual subscription though.

@rrrita.eth The older I get, the less impressed I am by people who are right. I'm drawn to the ones who let you keep your dignity while showing you that you were wrong. Anyone can correct you. A few people do it benevolently. They leave your self-respect intact while expanding your understanding. You remember the lesson. You remember the kindness even longer.
