Here, write it, or it will be erased by the wind. - Isabel Allende in Of Love and Shadows: A Novel

The ephemeral ‘it’ captured in writing thereby becoming something longer lasting and sharable across space and time.

Have you ever noticed that you remember better if you take notes during a lecture/presentation or jot down a few sentences about something you did? It is certainly true for me even if I don’t look at what I wrote ever again. There is something about the physical act of writing that aids memory or learning. It is the bulwark against erasure ‘by the wind.’
