The spoken word is always less direct , as it comes through the shield that is our face. The written word is more complex and revealing, as it comes directly from the brain and heart, always internal and silent, as it jumps to the page.

This was truly excellent, as always! Your descriptions of "Lonely Places" and of the distinction between sadness and melancholy are poetic in their own right, as is so much of your writing. Capturing a mood or experience with mere words is supremely challenging, but you do it so well!
