Recently I had the privilege of peeking inside the mind/heart of a new friend through his writing. This experience was unique in that he read aloud a selection from his works. It gave me more than the printed word could ever provide as I watched the expression on his face, listened to the changing inflection of his voice as he traversed the more personal passages.

What came of this reading was not only an appreciation for the content, but I believe a much deeper and personal connection with the material. More than I ever could have imagined in fact.

This leads me to wonder if there could be any value for similar readings saved to video. In some respects this might resemble the experience of watching a golf game on TV. Those who have interest gain value while others may find boredom as the predominent take-away.

Hmmm.
