Beautiful words. I couldn't have said it any better. I did, in fact, try.

Thank you, Neal—your words mean a great deal to me.
It’s always encouraging to know that a reflection resonates with someone who has clearly spent time thinking deeply about language and meaning. I appreciate your generosity in taking the time to share that response.

I read some of your quotes. They are not only beautifully written but also meaningful. We share an interest in introspective fiction and psychology.

Thank you, Neal. That means a great deal to me.
I believe introspective fiction and psychology meet in the same quiet space—where questions matter more than conclusions, and where literature becomes a way of listening rather than explaining.
It’s a pleasure to connect with someone who shares that sensibility.

The key is finding the way to the place where there are no words at all. It's the place of creation. Though our socialization we're constantly pulled away from it. We lose our innocence. Our Being. It's apparent that you've at least touched on that place of pure essence. It's great to meet a kindred soul, one who uses words rather than being hypnotized by them.

Thank you, Neal.
I believe that place you describe—the one beyond words—is where writing truly begins, even if it can never fully remain there. Words are only our way of returning, imperfectly, with traces of what we touched.
To write is not to possess meaning, but to approach it gently, without trying to imprison it in language.
I’m grateful for this shared recognition, and for meeting a kindred presence along the way.
