Turning silence into words. Totally resonates with me. I've been trying to build more silence into my life. More solitude. It is something we have lost in our society–it's no wonder we find our writing to be lacking a certain quality. We can't take the time to slow down. I think we are seriously missing out by not building in time to slow down so we can rest, and think, and write - and for me to pray. Turning my silence into words to God. Giving my brain the space to mull the important things over so I can actually make those hard decisions. Great post man.
“But for sure, the voice cannot be heard while you are watching TikTok.” This is so true. So many times I want to write but end up watching Youtube videos for hours at a time.
Makes me think about your defense of longhand - pen on paper has much more of the stuff of solitude than hands on a keyboard or thumbs tapping away on a screen. Ha ha, having said that I do a lot of my writing using speech to text to save even more time than typing! :D
