I have so many favorite words even words in other languages that are favorites, I just couldn't pick one.

@Free2be, and they even named a theater after it. :-)

I had to look that up.  Indeed:  "The Theater of the Absurd emerged out of the ashes of the destructive first-half of the Twentieth Century. Combining the growing claustrophobia of the modern age with the oppressive bureaucracy of fascistic police-states, playwrights like Samuel Beckett, Eugene Ionesco and Vaclav Havel staged the absurdity of living in strife. Not only did they adopt a whole new type of rhythmic dialogue, but they challenged the theatrical status-quo by defying the chief tenets of portrayal and narrative. By briefly turning the medium on its head, they inspired playwrights all over the world to confront the social, psychological and political climate of their home countries."

Who knew?  LOL  Thanks, SuzyQ3!

Trust.

Because without trust, you have nothing.

@Free2be, the play that virtually defined and created the Theater of the Absurd was Samuel Beckett's "Waiting for Godot." I would have loved to have seen the 2013 production on Broadway with Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Billy Crudup, and Shuler Hensley.

Empowerment. Because no matter how down or sad or angry or demeaned I feel, my little inner voice wants me to feel empowered. I finally feel I deserve to be.

Syzygy (an imaginary line drawn between two planets, usually in astronomy.

It's my favorite word because it's so unusual.  It's the only word in the English language that incorporates 3 Y's within 6 letters.....

In my dreams I am able to spell this word over a "triple word score" space.

My words would be "God" and "Family".  With both, I have all I'll ever need.
