Do you know the answer to this old riddle?
Q: Which weighs more: a pound of bricks or a pound of feathers?
A: Neither. They both weigh the same.
Silly, I know. But I’ve been thinking a lot about weight lately. And no, this has nothing to do with the pants I no longer fit into. Since my hubby has been ill, he’s been unable to carry heavy items as easily as he did previously. So even though a bag of pine bark weighs the same as it did last year, it’s heavier for him today.
In our gravity-controlled world, anything with mass has weight—anything from feathers to bricks.
But have you stopped to consider the weight of words?
