In the last six months, I’ve found myself working with pencil and paper to think/write. I’ve spent time puzzling through things-erasing, scratching out. I had an insight from this slow work. Could I have gotten there with AI. Probably, but I would have lost some good.

One of my favorite poems - Herbert's "Bittersweet"

"AH my deare angrie Lord,
Since thou dost love, yet strike;
Cast down, yet help afford;
Sure I will do the like.
I will complain, yet praise;
I will bewail, approve:
And all my sowre-sweet dayes
I will lament, and love."
