Through the window, into the mind

The written word is fascinating. We are—nearly all of us, it seems—born with an innate drive to communicate with each other. Those of us fortunate enough to live where literacy is common express ourselves, in part, through writing. Some, of course, are better at it than others.
No matter what our natural skills or level of learning, though, our writing inevitably opens a small, sometimes cloudy, window into our minds. I like to look through others’ windows, just to see what I can see.
