Hey Clinton, you know I have never listened to my stories, or to any others for that matter. Now if I could record my stories and get paid for doing it, I would definitely listen to them. But I may have to give listening a try.
I like the way you describe how listening to the words forms mental pictures in your mind. That happens when I read, and I totally get what you are saying. Perception is extremely subjective. We all see the world through unique lenses and filters. I think understanding these filters is one step toward "controlling the beast."
Thanks so much for reading and commenting, my friend!
