On Writing

Writing: making the invisible, spoken word visible thereby robbing it of its inherent kinetics by rendering it static, or so it could be seen, might appear. Are not the waves you absorb reading these very words kinetic? Listen to the voice writing a text.


Writing a text? Text. The textor is a weaver, not a scribe.

Waver of a waiving weaver, waiver of a weaving waver, …


Writing, noun and verb. And the verb became flesh; the spoken word became the written word; the invisible, the audible became visible, the apparently immaterial had materialized.
