Thoughts unknown

Words unspoken

A universe waiting to be explored but lacking a vehicle to take me there

Until my fingers picked up the pen and unlocked the unspoken thoughts of my soul.

 

I was known, throughout my school days, as the quiet one.  Parent-teacher conferences would generally include some version of, “Jenny is a great student, but I just wish she would speak up more in class.”

At some point, I realized that I didn’t want to speak up unless I knew exactly what I was going to say and how I was going to say it.  Socially, I was the same way.  My mind would play out a million options for the conversation and analyze each possibility, along with the potential outcomes.  By the time it settled on one it deemed “safe,” the real conversation would have already moved on.

Everything was different when I was alone and could pick up a beautiful, blank sheet of paper.  My fingers would reach down, pick up the pen, and say for me on paper what I could never seem to say in person.  Thoughts that were too numerous and too complicated to understand suddenly came pouring out through my fingers.   Things that didn’t make sense in my brain suddenly made sense on paper.  My spirit was given full, unhindered access as it raced through the pen and revealed itself in visible words. 

 

In these moments, I was free.

My thoughts were known.

My spirit was given a voice.

This is beyond lovely. You pulled me into your world and gave me a glimpse into your soul.

Jenny, You have so beautifully described the world of many writers. Someone told me the other day when I told her I was a writer not a speaker, she replied that all writers are natural public speakers. Not so for me, and I'm glad I have a kindred soul in you. I live in your universe. :-)

Jenny, I loved this. I know a lot of writers will identify with that same freedom. Love how you started and ended in a matching way.
