“I’d subscribe to this newsletter just for the illustrations.” I mumble to myself whenever I stumble upon another masterpiece online.
Usually, its job is to highlight the main idea of the article. But sometimes, an illustration is like a compressed file: a depth of meaning, exhausting to unpack. The text only touches on one of its facets.
It’s torture when I sift through streams of photos, feeling, “Ugh, none of this is right!” Despite a vague sense of what’s needed, it knows instantly when I hook a big fish.
A powerful illustration can inspire an article. That’s why I constantly save them “for later” in a special folder labeled “Ideas.” Being there feels as nice as wandering the Oxford library.
It would be far more efficient to publish just the text. Maybe not all readers share my enthusiasm for “pictures.” It seems like I’m overburdening myself. Why?
Only then can something implicit reveal itself fully.
Peace is restored to the soul when the essence matches the form.
Do you agree?
Sincerely yours,
-Alexander
