Today
I recieved an email from one of my dearest friends whom is away at college at
this time. The first bit was the normal Hey
I miss you. and Wanna talk
later?At the end she had included an an a descriptive writing. As I read
it I had to marvel about how much depth people have to them.
Her
writing included topics and feeling that we have discussed many times over the
years but never so much at once and not always so well put. While reading I was
able to side of my friend that I do not always get a chance to see and I was
thankful that she was willing to share some of her quiet thoughts from her.
It reminds me of how sometimes the thoughts that we put to paper (or
nowadays screen) somehow seem to be deeper then what we ever say. Why that is? I
ponder. I have a few theories. I know for myself sometimes when I try to
describe something that takes some thought - I'll give up because I feel as if no
one understands what I am trying to say aloud, or I have a hard time saying it all in the proper
order where in print I can go back and reread and edit. Also when we converse
with others we interrupted each other (I am ashamed to say that I do this
often) so there is not a chance to finish our thoughts. Plus sometimes a
conversation is more intimidating then
an email or letter. (Hummm is that very point not often pointed out when there
is an occurrence of cyber bullying?) It reminds me of people
who often post deeper Facebook status, blogs or tweets then you ever seem
to hear coming form their lips.
It
seems as if pen and paper or screen and keys almost can provide courage or
weapons to our inmost thoughts.
