This book is intended to help you to explore the power, the wonder and most of all, the magic contained in a few simple words. If you enjoy anagrams, lexigrams and word games, you will be familiar with the general idea -- where you use the letters contained within a word to make other words --- but even if you are not, you will still find it easy to understand and perhaps, fun to read. What I have done is to use those words I've found to construct some prose, adding another dimension to the main words – a sort of 3D effect, if you like.
In this way, I hope that you will find it a useful tool through which to examine situations that you might encounter. Exploring words or combinations of words, might help you to gain more clarity or a new perspective on your circumstances. It may help you to expand your view and perhaps prompt you to take a different approach and pursue a different action.

IT'S A SNAG
Whenever IT feels that something IS AGAINST us, that thing can assume huge proportions, becoming a GIANT of AN obstacle too big to tackle or a task that only a Hercules or a SAINT could take on. Inside the word giant, however, is the word ANT so perhaps we have something to GAIN from observing this tiny creature, something about how to shrink a thing down to a manageable size, thereby diminishing the negative effects it has on us. The ant ISN'T ever overwhelmed or intimidated by any load – it simply moves things piece by piece, one miniscule crumb AT a time.
