Wordle

Our good friend Christi sent a link to this cool Web site called Wordle, which creates "word clouds" from text you type in.

As you may know, there is a beautiful and haunting John Lennon song called "Julia," which was written for (and named after) his late mother. Here is the Julia Wordle (click on it to enlarge), and below are the lyrics. Thought it was neat.

For what it's worth, once Dario & I decided on the name Julia, I couldn't get this song out of my head for months.



"Julia"
(Lennon/McCartney)

Half of what I say is meaningless
But I say it just to reach you, Julia
Julia, Julia, oceanchild, calls me
So I sing a song of love, Julia

Julia, seashell eyes, windy smile, calls me
So I sing a song of love, Julia
Her hair of floating sky is shimmering, glimmering
In the sun

Julia, Julia, morning moon, touch me
So I sing a song of love, Julia

When I cannot sing my heart
I can only speak my mind, Julia

Julia, sleeping sand, silent cloud, touch me
So I sing a song of love, Julia
Hum hum hum...calls me
So I sing a song of love for Julia
Julia
Julia
