Welcome to Navarre Word Sushi. I can hear you now. What is Navarre Word Sushi? It is my blog. A place where I can expose some of the thoughts I have from time to time. It happens. Not very often, but sometimes when the juices get to flowing and the blood rushes to my brain the gears start to turn, and things form. Ponderings and such that make me ask questions like: Why did they do that? What does that mean? Or does that make any sense at all?

Okay first thing let’s look at the title of this blog.

I like words. I use them every day to communicate. They are important and if you want to, you can make them do wonderful and amazing things. A few simple words can express and describe beauty, love, and awe.

That brings us to the word sushi. I like sushi. Add soy sauce and a touch of wasabi or some chili sauce. Ah good. Now what does it have to do with this blog?

Sushi is a Japanese word which originated sometime between 1895 and 1900 to describe the Japanese dish consisting of cold rice and various types of raw fish. The literal Japanese meaning of this word is: it is sour. Sour, sweet, hot, or spicy when you take words and put them together in a sentence, a paragraph, or a large collection you get word sushi.

Finally, we come to the word Navarre. Once upon a time it was a kingdom in Southwest France and Northern Spain. Today it is the name for an unincorporated community with a population of about 30,000 people. I’m one those, and I love it here.

So to review, Navarre Word Sushi is me and the words I roll around to make pretty things. Come back and visit again soon.
