This text offers a brief poetic and philosophical view of language, speaking and writing, suggesting that they are more than mere communication tools. The author elevates the act of writing and reading to a spiritual and mystical plane, emphasizing the profound impact that language and literature can have in connecting minds and ideas.
Nice poetry. Yet I wonder. Why do you make the difference between the written and the spoken word? You could unroll the same narrative changing the word "books" by "speeches"... Every time we talk with somebody the spirits change, the meaning mutate, sharpens, blurs... I think that we all are making otherness, every time we come out of ourselves and try to search for meaning...
I may have put this difference because of the nature of the synchronous nature of oral communication v the asynchronous of the written one. Of course, audio and video of speeches may approximate the oral to the written expression but still the overwhelming presence of the speaker I suspect that it may reduce the otherness (the very amount of spirits) in what’s being said. But you’re right, the distinction doesn’t need to be that sharp…
Ah, funny. I said "nice poetry"... and after I read your own description... "a brief poetic and"... indeed indeed.
That was ChatGPT reaction to my brief article... hehehe it wasn't my own description

Thank you my pal!
