Would a Sword Be Stronger Than My Pen?
This piece is dedicated to Francisco Iglesias on Medium. He and I had such a healthy conversation, and we challenged ourselves to write an article like this one each. I'm so glad he gave me his time with our conversation, and I hope that I've helped inspire him in some way.

Quite nature
Introduction In a world filled with noise and chaos, the quiet nature of the natural world offers a tranquil escape. From the stillness of a forest to the calmness of a lake, quiet nature has the power to soothe our minds, refresh our spirits, and reconnect us with the world around us. The Solace of Silence Quiet nature provides a respite from the constant noise of daily life, allowing us to unwind and recharge. In the silence of nature, we can hear our own thoughts, reflect on our experiences, and find inner peace. The Beauty of Serenity Quiet nature is breathtakingly beautiful, from the majesty of mountains to the simplicity of a sunset. Its serenity inspires awe, fosters gratitude, and reminds us of the magic that surrounds us. The Healing Power of Nature Quiet nature has a profound impact on our well-being, reducing stress, improving mental health, and promoting physical wellness. By immersing ourselves in nature's tranquility, we can heal, grow, and thrive. The quiet nature of the natural world is a precious gift, offering peace, beauty, and healing. Let us cherish and protect this serenity, finding solace in its silence, inspiration in its beauty, and renewal in its embrace. In the midst of life's chaos, a gentle whisper beckons us to escape into the serene embrace of quiet nature. Like a symphony of silence, the natural world harmonizes our souls, revives our spirits, and reunites us with the rhythm of life. As we wander through the forest's tranquil tapestry, the soft rustle of leaves whispers secrets of the universe. The ancient trees, like wise sages, share tales of resilience and strength, their gnarled branches a testament to the beauty of imperfection. The forest floor, a canvas of colors, weaves a tapestry of life, death, and rebirth, reminding us that every ending marks a new beginning. The gentle lapping of waves against the shore creates a soothing melody, a lullaby that cradles our worries and rocks them to sleep. The ocean's vast expanse stretches out before us like an endless canvas, painted with hues of sapphire and emerald, a masterpiece of breathtaking beauty. With each wave, the ocean whispers truths of the universe, reminding us of the ebbs and flows of life. In the stillness of a mountain lake, we find a reflection of our own souls – calm, clear, and untroubled. The water's glassy surface mirrors the sky above, a perfect union of heaven and earth, reminding us of the harmony that exists within and around us. The lake's tranquility inspires us to reflect on our journey, to confront our fears, and to embrace our dreams. As dusk descends, the sky is set ablaze with hues of crimson and gold, a kaleidoscope of colors that dance across the horizon. The stars twinkle like diamonds scattered across the velvet expanse, a celestial showcase of wonder and magic. In the night sky's embrace, we find the infinite possibilities of the universe, a reminder that our dreams are but a whisper away. In quiet nature's embrace, we find solace from life's turmoil, a refuge from the cacophony of chaos. Our minds, once a jumble of thoughts and worries, begin to unravel, like the gentle uncoiling of a rose's petals. With each breath, our souls expand, our hearts open, and our spirits soar. Let us bask in the radiance of quiet nature's beauty, allow its serenity to envelop us, and permit its peacefulness to permeate our very being. For in its loving arms, we find the harmony, wonder, and enchantment that our souls crave. Let us cherish this symphony of silence, this celestial music that resonates deep within our souls. As we immerse ourselves in quiet nature's splendor, we become one with the universe, our spirits entwining with the trees, our hearts beating in rhythm with the waves, and our souls soaring with the stars. In this sacred union, we find our true selves, our passions, and our purpose. In the silence of nature, we discover the beauty of simplicity, the joy of simplicity, and the peace that comes from living in harmony with the natural world. We realize that true happiness lies not in material possessions but in the beauty of a sunrise, the song of a bird, or the gentle touch of a summer breeze. Let us honor this symphony of silence, this celestial music that fills our hearts with wonder and our souls with peace. Let us protect this precious gift, this enchanting beauty that whispers secrets of the universe and reminds us of our place in the grand tapestry of life.

Onomatopoeia
For those who never learned or perhaps have forgotten, onomatopoeia, in addition to being one of the most misspelled words in the English language, are words that are intended to convey noises or sounds. Think pow or ka-pow from the Batman comic books of old. The existence of onomatopoeia reminds us that in any exclusively visual medium such as writing, whether it be text only or illustrated like comic books or graphic novels, there are very few ways to convey the sound a thing makes. Essentially there is analogy to something else that makes a similar sound, perhaps physical/bodily reactions, and onomatopoeia. I am leaving out formalized systems of representing sounds like musical notes because they are only understood by a small subset of people and are generally only applied to specific types of sounds (i.e. musical sounds). None of those options does a very good job in my estimation and together they illustrate just how difficult it is to translate a sound into words or any other visual format in a way that truly captures the essence of it. The difficulty ultimately springs from the fact that all of those options for describing a sound, rely on a different sense, vision, to interpret. If one examines the other senses it quickly becomes clear that translation between any one of them to any other suffers from similar problems though the degree of difficulty varies with the diversity of language that has been developed to describe the particular sense in question. For example, for myself at least, it is easier, though still not easy, to describe how something tastes then how something sounds. This is primarily because many more words are available to describe the taste of a thing than the sound of a thing. That is interesting in its own right, but it becomes even more interesting when one realizes that words are also the only way to convey sight in an exclusively auditory medium. In that case the words must be spoken or written in a form that can be interpreted by another of the senses, like braille. In addition, words are the only option to convey taste in an exclusively taste based medium, if there were such a thing. The same of course goes for touch. In fact it is the case that it is not possible to describe any sense experience to another person (and maybe not even to oneself) without language and words.
