I didn't Know I Knew that
Last night I realized that sometimes I don’t know what I know till I say it. So I guess that is one good answer to the why say it question: Because it teaches us---we learn from it. Saying doesn’t make it so, but saying it out loud and to another person, or in writing helps me clarify and solidify my thoughts. Does it happen to you this way? Do you ever almost know something---maybe a fragment of truth that surfaces during a conversation or while you are writing---that you have to go and look up to make sure you’re not just making stuff up? Do words that you didn’t even know you knew pop up while you are writing?
