Abstract
This content reflects on the author's perspective on the role of silence in a world filled with words. The author contemplates the existence of words, their unique characteristics, and how they enable us to communicate with our surroundings.
The author starts by acknowledging the prevalence of words in the world and how they sometimes sit quietly, observing the "hum" around them. This suggests a desire to step back and ponder the deeper meaning and purpose of language.
The author then delves into the author's thoughts about words, their 26 letters, and the curves and lines that make them up. The author also reflects on how we can "carry" these words, implying the power and responsibility that comes with using language.
Ultimately, the author suggests that silence and introspection can lead to a deeper appreciation and understanding of the beauty of language and communication. The author's wish to "speak the way a mind can think" suggests a desire to find a more authentic and meaningful way of expressing oneself, beyond the constraints of conventional language.
