What is thinking a thought

Immerse thyself again in words most apt that stand and are for what it is you would have me see and thoroughly be precisely not exactly as you have put them.

Nay, before you put them, before it was you said them, or whispered in tentative strokes intending to paint what it is you saw or sensed and decided to wield them about for goodness sake

(Oh, that I would and that I could not as I have done here.)

even before real wording if and whether you would get it true than a drift better than a cloud that pierced effortlessly to its destination and took you back to thyself and me:

Writing is that you me be, and we know that is not possible as we compelled ourselves to make it so. Sad there is no other salvation, no sufficient redemption, no reckoning.

Yet we have this conversation or illusion that it is so.

Aside

"Lauren Silbert uses brain scans to try to zero in on what happens when two people click." (http://www.radiolab.org/2011/apr/18/soul-mates-and-brain-doubles/) Ms. Silbert read a story and had her brain activity mapped (scanned). Then she told the story to others and their brain activities were mapped. One listener's brain activity matched that of the storyteller, exactly. Thesis? The matching points represent the same experiences of the words-images that comprise the story. And if they match entirely, both storyteller and listener have had the same experience that the words create (evoke?). Is this the fundamental phenomenology of writing--the intentionality--to create in your experience that which I intend and had when I wrote what I did?

Be me

If the post before this is in the main accurate and true and the one titled " Aside " depicts the universal(?) hoped-for outcome of writing, then the hypothesis of writing as phenomenology and phenomenology as writing appears essentially supported. It also appears that writing as phenomenology reverberates up, down, and all around all utterances. Each, even this sample, is what-I-have-in-my-mind-I-want-replicated-in-yours. Next, the subversiveness of this notion, plus differing intentions of writing?

A gnat's whatever I see
