Don't explain or rationalize the word you use we'll talk about it after everyone has posted their "one word only".
I'll save mine til later,so as not to sway anyones definition.It will be interesting to see if anyone hits on the same word and even more interesting to see if "mine" is all encompassing as "yours".
We'll run this post as long as it seems active (25 or so posts probably)...then discuss it!
Courious?

Well here's mine..."Renaissance"...I honestly believe it is the absolute reason we are all here.Every time we go to a meet we revive the best of all we have learned and extend that knowledge to all that are seeking it...at the same time we rekindle friendships, philosophys and we bring back the humanity that should exist in every walk of life.
As the "sign trade" moves in a dozen different directions at once, everything that was learned yesterday is passed on today (literally)we are all getting closer and closer in every way.
Now go back and look at all the one word answers...I think you will have to admit all are worthy of revival (renaissance)and all of you are why I'm here.
Thanks for making this such a nice post!
American Heritage Dictionarys definition of the word "Renaissance" comes from the french word (renaistre) "to be born again".
