chalk vat -------------------------------------------- warm smile
toad bag -------------------------------------------- solemn horn

Some of the meaning is contained within the sound. Try reading it out loud.

I must say John, I have always been intrigued by the way you hear sounds. Maybe it just has something to do with your perfect pitch and musical mind...

While I didn't notice anything in particular about the sounds, I did notice that the Hell side has lots of words with the "ag", "ra" and "k" letters and the heaven side has more words with m's and n's and o's. But maybe that was just my imagination...

That's funny Christy, because the sounds I picked out on the Hell side were the harsh "k" and "t" sounds, and on the Heaven side, the lighter "l" and "w/h" sounds. I hadn't noticed the m-n-o's.

John, I love your Heaven words. Many of them carry great beauty and meaning to me. I want to live and think in the sunlight with words like these. Thanks!
