A writer decides what writing is; sometimes undefined, they are natural flow of feelings. A journey with, words without restraint; worrying less about their intentions, because they come from the heart. A reader does not define the course of writing, but goes with the flow and immerses in those rich feelings resonating from the pages. A writer wouldn’t be true to the soul if truths are not communicated from life. Writing is a mirror, a powerful one, reflecting some nuanced aspects of life and existence. A writer’s senses are much more keen and not easily distracted due to concerted efforts to divert attention. Writing comes from pure awakening of the senses.

Writing really is a mirror. It’s an extension of myself and allows me to see into my subconscious like I never could have before. It allows me to be the guy I never was and say the things I left unsaid. That what writing is to me, the best therapy I can afford.

I love your last line, “Writing comes from pure awakening of the senses”, it makes me want to go out into the cold and start writing instead of sipping hot chocolate while reading your sublime words!

Thank you (as ever) for your very kind words, Amitav! And yes, I went out into the cold to the warm library to work on a future post…

Library is that sacred space, where in silence, one can immerse in those pages for hours.

You’re on my frequency. Where the unwritten deeper meaning gets noticed, and the words themselves serve to stir and stimulate.

That’s true. We can communicate so much effortlessly. It is possible because we are at that frequency. Always a pleasure!

If only writing were telepathic, but wait, it is, if the reader is empathic.

That’s so true. I feel readers are little discomposed with writings that stimulate latent feelings.

There is that element. If so, it then becomes a process of reaching those on your frequency.

Exactly, I feel writing should be more of a communication of that type, rather than just narratives which lay there without feelings.

Flat, black and white, lying there lifeless on a page. That’s not a proper way to receive word. Rather, multidimensional, full of colour, intense in Spirit, and breathing Life.
