FFO Words

 

 Welcome To Friday Face OFF (FFO)

This is the place to show off your faces or your face. Post any type of face from any medium. You can create it, or find it in nature, or even that face in the design of you 
woodwork in your house. 
Human, animal, alien, or monster. 
ANY KIND OF FACE!
 
 Words can bite. Words can heal. Words can touch the heart to make us see the light.  Words bring hate. Words bring love. Words fill the universe to seal our fate. 

We are in control of what we do and what we say. At this time of the year with the lunar eclipse our words have more meaning than you may know. Energy is intensified so set your intentions. It's a time for transformation and renewal. To end the chapter and begin a new one. To fill the universe with the words of life.
 
This drawing is called, "She ponders"

Last week I had a few minutes and visited some blogs. One was Magaly Guerrero.  If you have never been to her blog you are missing out on someone who exemplifies courage and strength.
Her writings always encourage me. Magaly has given me permission to share her post from last week. 

 

Unsaid Words Will Die Screaming

Quiet not
the raging mouths that scream
differently tuned

songs, which burst
with conviction, with outrage,
with words youve never held
between skull and teeth.

Living words (and people) will
not be muzzled
without cruelty (or war)--

unsaid words
fight to become.
Let them
(we must)
be something,
do something,
say something...

or lose
everything.

 
 
Of course I did play with AI. I really do love some of my results.

 


 


 


 



Now for the features.
 
 
 

Oh, and don't forget to link up with Gillena
 
 
To all of you, I wish you the best in all things.
 
 That's it for me, now it's your turn to show me your face.
 
Nicole

Words are indeed powerful. Words cut deeper than a sharp knife. Words can bring bitterness and strife. But words can also soothe the ache, of a child whose heart is going to break. Our words both as tools and weapons be. I beg you use them carefully.

Love your pondering lady and yes, words do have power.
Cool AI-art! Enjoy your FFO, dear host.

Words that should be said and aren't; words that shouldn't be said and are 😢

I hope the coming week is good to you.

For years I've been trying to find the right words, the adequate words, but they never manage to stick precisely to what I want to express. I'm tired of always chasing after meaning. I hope it's gettign better for you

My first link doesn’t work, so I posted it again. Also Google has changed something, and I can’t comment on some blogs.

Happy Friday Nicole. I hope you've been having a good week. I love your face. She is definitely thinking about something, and I know you haven't finished her hair, but I like it as it is. It really draws attention to the face. Thanks for linking me up as a feature, and also for sharing Magaly's poem. Have a great weekend. hugs-Erika

Thanks for keeping this going. Hope all is well and better in your world and Mr. M's

Words are powerful, Nicole, and I enjoyed your post. I haven't been to Magaly's blog in a long time. She is a fascinating person. Your "pondering" image is compelling, and I'm pondering how she got that terrible scar. She owns it and dares you not to look her in the eye, and she has made peace with it ~ wonderful, Nicole. Enjoy your weekend! As, always, thinking of you and Mr. M.

Too stressed to join in or visit too much this week but good words about "words" and the eclipse (that moon! Sigh!). Love your drawing. And all you shared this week.
