I almost never write on paper, I just type everything out
Or use voice notes, a convenience these days I cannot do without
If I pick up a pen, it is either to draw or to sign my name
My penmanship has deteriorated, for which my profession is partly to blame
Sometimes I scribble notes in the margin when a printed article I read
In order to remember the salient points I need
To write them down the old-fashioned way
Like I used to in school, day after day
*
Research has shown that writing on paper activates
Different parts of the brain at once, and integrates
Divergent neural pathways such that memories are consolidated
Therefore the practice of writing in longhand which seems outdated
Should be revived- with this thought in mind
Motivation to write in a journal I have tried to find
But I forget to carry my journal with me
And end up typing on my phone invariably
*
As I type out this verse, I silently resolve
To write on a sheet of paper tomorrow, in writing I need to devolve..
Passion...unbridled
