Word of the Day-Literacy

The 1st blog I have ever produced and what other then about the language of the medium itself?!?!  Now that is meta in its trues form!  The ability to critic a phenomena within the medium of writing, literacy, using writing as the medium of critic.  Literacy.  A word that just by its recognition performs itself.  The ability to take these manipulated shapes and identify them as building blocks of a language,literacy.  The ability to read a street sign, owner's manual, daily news, or newest Harry Potter's installment, literacy.  

A tool taught as soon as infants can coo out sounds, the alphabet in which constructs mighty language, broken down into its smallest form of the letter.  From letters to words, from words to sentences, sentences to paragraphs, paragraphs to ideas,Literacy.

The ability to escape the physical world, embarking on a mission to stop an alien race from gaining access to our galaxy by meeting them head on between ours and theirs somewhere out in oblivion, or hunting down the infamous Moby Dick in a life boat, just you, a spear, and a bottle of tatar sauce, literacy (plus a little im promptu).

What do all these things culminate to be:Literacy.  The learning and application of tool that opens the very doors of life itself in a multiplicity of ways.
