A feeling becomes language.
A thought becomes a diagram.
A rhythm becomes music.
A boundary becomes a sentence.
A vision becomes a prototype.
Expression matters because inner experience changes when it takes form.
Something vague becomes visible enough to examine, share or revise.
This is also why expression requires courage.
Once something leaves the protected interior of imagination, the world can respond to it.
