As I’ve written more often, writing has become more than just a way for me to communicate. To me these days, writing is the creative by-product of my learning and thinking process. If I learn something new, it begins life as just an idea, thrown somewhere into the distant orbit in my mental solar system of ideas. Over time, as this speck of an idea develops through conversations and readings, it starts growing and colliding into other ideas. Asteroids of ideas agglomerate in my mental orbit, pulling itself closer to the center of the solar system, until one day, I feel ready to cast a shadow of its form from within my mind out into the material world. That shadow of my thoughts is my writing. Writing is the end product of thinking in my life.
