Vichār \ Reflections

विचार

Vichār comes from vi- and char. Char means to move, to walk. Vi- suggests separation, discernment, moving through something with intention. Together, vichār is not simply thinking. It is walking through thought. Traversing an idea from every side until the surface cracks and something truer emerges from underneath. Most of what is written today is first-draft thinking published at the speed of reaction. Vichār asks for the opposite - To sit with something long enough that the obvious falls away and what remains is worth saying. These are pieces written in that patience.
