With every post - every blog - we have the potential to touch another human being. We craft our words - to inform, share, question, understand, inspire, uplift, and even to vent.
Here we have the opportunity to arouse patterns of thought that might otherwise have lain dormant. As we reach out to other bloggers, readers, realtors, clients, and friends we have the power to move, the power to shift and change another's perspective. To both see things and present them in a way that maybe wasn't possible before.
The pleasure we derive from the written word is unique in that we must labor for it. It's not like watching tv, or listening to music which for the most part evokes only an emotional response. It's not like playing a video or computer game - although that provides a stimulus of sorts.
Reading and writing isn't passive - it actually requires an investment of emotion, as well as concentration and imagination. There's a type of vulnerability that it exposes...thats both challenging and freeing, scary and exciting. We learn something about others and perhaps what even more important...we learn about ourselves. The words we read...the words we write.... are where it all begins...
Its strange to me how this process of blogging....of writing, helps us to unravel and unfold...allows us to reveal and share concepts and ideas from within. Sometimes it happens without even knowing. This transformation.....that stretches us. It can be comforting and relaxing, stimulating and irritating....frustrating and inspiring.
Sometimes pulling up a chair, hot cup of coffee in hand and perusing different blogs can be relaxing and it can be fun to immerse ourselves in both the familiar and the new. That is one of the exciting aspects - the variety.......the unlimited choice.....the perspectives. Sometimes it helps us to remove ourselves from the stresses and pressures of the day - other times it provides us with the stimulus and provocation necessary to take the next step. And perhaps one of the greatest gifts it gives us is the opportunity for friendship - and connection.
This the blogging experience...can awaken empathy....trigger a memory...revive a passion........ Really with the information available we can create a whole new landscape in our mind's eye. The blogs we read and the blogs we write can provide us with the inspiration we need to replenish our own creative reserves. It can inspire us to use our imagination and create something unique and meanful.
I know it has for me..:-)
