This is an excellent podcast to dip into on a Saturday morning in bed, having dealt with the outer world respectfully enough during the week, to drift or eddy or sink within. I truly enjoyed your exploration of writing, as I am in the 2nd draft of my first novel. I assimilated the whole piece in metaphoric terms as something you bit into, sharing the taste of the topic whilst giving us the unusual opportunity of actually observing your digesting it fully. It is a very good descent into more than reflection but a soulful mulling. Particularly like the Heraclitus quote, which I've never heard, and writing as an opportunity for introverts to speak out, as I am now, and even to go wild which I have no need for at this moment. Don't know in what capacity you've written over the years but it feels very special to hear a writer muse on the process with such a depth psych capacity. You finished, as I will, by referring to the attempt to put the mystery into words. Amen.
