A Place Of Worship

A place of worship:

this could also be called a place of worship, a true religious sense of transformation, of how a page fully accepts every word, and through this becomes something more, it's emptiness serving now with greater meaning. So too is the ritual, reverence, that a writer comes to the page in awe of its capacity to hold the content of mind and heart, thoughts that pour from inspiration. 

indeed, a holy place.

what makes this a place of worship isn't the awe directed to an object, not words, nor keyboard, and even the author plays a minimal role. What happens here is a demonstration of emptiness transformed and yet still retaining every characteristic of its nature, how it's still eager to receive no matter how many words are given, unbiased in it's hold, open. The page itself stays the same regardless of what's written, unmarred to its very essence. 

here, it's a worship of entirety - how emptiness allows itself as page, giving room to words and writer's quest to add some meaning. It's a religion of process, a ritual to draw inspiration from the unknown to make a brief appearance. Every aspect belongs, essential to the whole affair. With this it matters less as to what's written than it does a finish, a sense of completion to this service. A place of worship only demands transformation, words to a page, capacity served, and the writers own effort noted. Something magical happened here, a miracle however small...

from somewhere, or perhaps nowhere at all - thoughts appeared, words, and then the page received them, everything transformed.
