Summary

This quote suggests that the true power of writing comes from the ability to focus your thoughts on a single subject. When we write, we bring our scattered ideas and emotions together, funneling them into a specific topic or concept. By concentrating our thoughts and intentions on one object, our writing gains a certain form of enchantment. We are able to communicate our ideas more effectively, evoking emotions and inspiring others. The magic lies in the ability of the written word to channel the energy of focused thought and capture the essence of a message.
