"But perception is an active process. Your readers do not simply ingest your words and acquire your ideas.Your audience brings their own assumptions and experiences to the act of reading. When they look through the window of your writing, half of what they see is their own reflection in the glass."
Thank you. Beautiful sentences:

Your job as a writer is to polish the glass.”
Thanks for writing this. It somehow feels like both the goal and the purpose.
