Love how this feels deep and playful / light at the same time!

Yes, weird! They (words) often don’t come out in the way verbally (much of the time) I would like - now I mask very little for my own sanity. Without the NT masking scripts I am stuck, staring, stammering, or just silent but if in comfortable (usually ND) company then it’s 100s of them in rapid fire falling over themselves trying to mean things. 🤦🏻

Thank you Sarah! The essence of faith is fewness of words and abundance of deeds. And to your fascinating point. If one is writing fiction, do the words then become non-fiction?!
