Foto. It is called a tag cloud. That gathers all the fun keywords that you associate with your blogs. It gives the reader a sense then; of the subject of a site; or post.
Below is another play at words. Here are a few of my favorite recently relevant words; and some difficult ones; in a most difficult time. My somewhat familiar languages; are these.
English, by use and absorption; as a young immigrant. Dutch, by birth. German by study. And Spanish by proximity; and bus signs; and street signs. My list; perhaps; makes a gentle social statement all its own.-Cheers then! Or well; sorrows, i suppose. But we shall overcome. By our words; and by our acts; and by our strength; and of course; by our sorrows. We shall overcome. It wouldn't be worth the ride otherwise.❤🌹

I WILL TRY to add some more excellent words to this list; as i think of them. And generally; i have enough of a sense of these languages to know that i am getting the right form of the word from Google Translate. Some cognates; i expect.
Other translations surprise me! And i would like to fling these words around at some folk; if i could; but i tend to be a polite, gentle, respectful, modest sort. (Which traits some people might try to learn.) I am seeing a sad; and quite shocking; lack of grace; class; modesty; respect everywhere. Replaced by a crass arrogant falseness and duplicity.
I guess; money and status and power and large houses; flips some sort of switch in people. (It has no interest to me.) What draws people in me is a gentle soft-spokenness. And a gentle kind creativity perhaps; in their language or in their style. And a certain modesty and curiosity; about the world. And i will tell you truly; the arrogance shocks me.
It truly flips my stomach sometimes. My family was always very respectful; polite. We were friendly; we were vriendelijk. Nonetheless; i hope you enjoy.-I love language. It is a way to show a gentle respect to people; and their people; and their lands. It is a way to heal the world!❤🌹
