Svaha: the time between seeing lightning and hearing the thunder

To hear that other people experience the same things, and then to hear their variations on that experience was very instructive. I found it quite effective to listen to the discussion and question and answer in the recording. It has its own power to engage attention and consideration and understanding. Quite different from reading a page of text and thinking you’ve understood, while really you’ve just skimmed it and didn’t really get it. I think the realisation that you’ve not really taken something in is more obvious for the spoken word. It isn’t just a gimmick — the spoken word really complements the written word.
