Great Study About Wizard-Shrine

 

I am simply looking for an umbrella title for the series and these five words are only ones that are interchangeable. So I thought I'd put my opinions aside and get some guidance from the good folk here.

 

[Stigweard]

Excuse me bumping this up ... just looking for a few more opinions

Studying at the Great Wizard's Shrine ?

about is a great word...

it points to the floating...

to the swing

to opening and closing

to dao's innermost feature

[Aetherous]

I guess wizard appeals to me the most.

 

Because:

I don't like to study.

Shrines are overrated.

Great is not that interesting of a word.

And about is the least interesting.

[Stigweard]

hmmm .... interesting

[Stigweard]

Bump Still don't have statistical accuracy so more votes would be great.

 

Cheers

"I guess wizard appeals to me the most" because they kick ass!

 

I would love to be a Wizard, a shrine..... not so much

[Aetherous]

That was precisely my line of thought.

A shrine would be a source of blessing that orientates wizardry - Gandalf was a servant of the Secret Fire.

[WhiteTiger]

Well I personally think the question is what is appealing about each word

 

The Yang representation of what stands out the most in the word... flashy show off type of thing... Wizard and maybe Shrine

 

But the importances of the significance is a different story.

 

As a boy I was always taught to spend your whole life type studying.

 

My cousin's friend, female Chinese, Claimed... Jewish people are very similar to the Chinese. (Her words not mine) Anyways I add that I will spend my whole life learning... and the best way to do that is through practice...

 

I practiced lots and learned through experience almost all my life, but i neglected studying, through books.

 

One of my most favorite things about Taoism (at least the way i learned it) You learn through experience and reading.

 

It combined the two... oh how wondrous it is.

 

Practice, Practice, Practice, AND Study, Study, Study.

Ya know, "wizard" is actually quite an ugly word. It sounds like Ghizzard or Weasel.

 

Whereas "shrine" seems to evoke a whiney sound and creates a bit too much pressure in the throat.

 

"about" seems very benign.

 

"study" sounds very stringent and blocky.

 

I think "great" is the word i would choose. I feel good saying it and works well with the vocal chords while maintaining a peaceful and positive vibe upon the ears.

wizard appeals to me because it would be fun to have studied enough about the great mysteries to be able to reveal some of those until now treasures hidden in mysterious shrines.

 

since it has until now been kept unappealingly secret & undemocratically from the masses in I am sure an attempt to keep powerless slaves. If I were such a wizard I would be sure to throw an unappealing undocumented paid for certificate into the air shouting "your last chance!!" & "enlightenment!!" in.. to some.. the most unappealing marketing way.

Marketing is a cool science, lol.

 

I don't know if you are a wizard Rain

 

but U R Magic!

 

U make me smile when i'm really just such a crotchety jaded old bitty.

... thank you. *bow*

I apoligize if my words had any sharpness to them,

it was not intended to be so?

But i do carry a sharpness at times.

 

 

 

i like the word Shrine

 

reminds me of the quiet places

hushed feel of the land

that calms a tattered battered soul

 

it's a name i use

short for another name that had been given~

Reliquary... in short it means a box of bones... true enough?

true enough.

 

I like the feel and sound of Shrine

brings others into the picture, people that see the holiness of life.

Not as lonely as Reliquary...which seems to just be a cold dark empty box of bones.

Shrine has warmth to it, reminds me of a small building on a spring day,

with petals falling through the air and the scent of flowers.

With it i hear music not distinct but like the songs of the earth its self.

 

i like Shrine.

 

for me there is a comfort there that can be hard to find.

a place for a tired soul to rest awhile.

 

Stay well, Shon

LOL ... indeed ... just content to see one scoot ahead based on standard error adjustments.

I'll vouch for that. I'm Jewish and my wife is Chinese. Jewish mothers and Asian mothers... too much in common.

 

In Montreal, where there are large populations of both, they have a term for the propensity of Chinese/Jewish couples: Soy Vey.
