Although technology advances the writing process and makes communication more effective around the world, there's something to be said about writing longhand. Writing with pen and paper is a supremely tactile and patient habit, whether it's a journal, notes, or even a letter to someone. If it does anything, it helps the body and the mind to relax and resynchronize.
Take a look around. When we text or email, we text or email in mere seconds, letters, and words. In real time, phones are able to broadcast our voices in real time. These words cannot be remembered, whether sent or not.
Meanwhile, writing longhand feels like taking a deep breath. Before the ink spills onto a white page, jumbled thoughts must be sorted.. They must add and be worthy of the lines that will be used to make it. It's a faith exercise. Practice is also required.
