This is so good, Josh! Your piece neatly settled some free-floating ideas about (essay) writing into a coherent framework for me as a beginning writer. Nicola recommended your writing to me, and I'm not disappointed!
“Essayist” - omg, I’ve been looking for a word to describe what I’m doing and that’s it! And ah, solitude. Everything springs from there. It’s why the best ideas come on a walk or in the shower isn’t it? But it’s a scary place to go too and so easy to avoid.
"Duality is after all the scaffolding of life." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Ultimately, an essayist is a mediator between reality and the inexplicable mysteries of bare existence." I'll be thinking about this all day.
Cheers Antonia, by writing...I feel we orchestrate the dance between what is tangible and what isn't.
