The gravity of words...

Keyboards can easily be used to produce words, phrases and sentences. All the letters are in front of you, calling out to be used. Processing letters can easily be shaped and formed into whatever your imagination and vocabulary can allow. Where your travels will go is at the speed of your typing.

It can be very pedestrian in comparison to graphics! Like "see[ing] the light by braille", it can make one long for nonverbal ways to supplement the piecing together of letters. Somehow, the indirect seems more direct, and letters, words and sentences don't contain the complexity of the ideas that long to emerge.

Words can act like a tower of Babel, but can also act like a leaky vessel. This gravity of words can stoke a desire to fly, but it can be the foundation toward another level of reality.

When travelling by words, jump for joy!
