Sometimes there is a certain idea lingering in my mind that is still not well defined; it is still far way and vague to my mind's eye. I've noticed when I write or talk about it, starts to come closer and become more vivid. Believe it or not, this article was vague before I started to write it a few moments ago, but now it becoming more vivid.
The reason, I guess, is when you say something or express it, you are forced to give it form. It seems that there is a rift between our thoughts and our words; while it is acceptable that our thoughts remain vague and mostly open-ended, our words are to be clear and meaningful.
I guess the lesson learned is that in many cases we might harbour ideas that are all but ready for definition and expression, but we tend to procrastinate and never give them final form. Forcing ourselves to express them in speech or writing can be a useful strategy, that might only take moments. And even if they are 100%, someone might read or hear them, and create something wonderful out of them.
