Because there’s a message, a yearning, a calling.<\/span><\/p>\n

Because there is truth bursting to be said, threatening to make my head implode if I don’t share it NOW.<\/span><\/p>\n

Because the flow of of words and images becomes a tidal wave that sweeps my core and makes my skin tingle.<\/span><\/p>\n

Because it’s more important to put your voice out there than to stay silent yet crying out for expression.<\/span><\/p>\n

I write to nourish my soul and free my spirit.<\/span><\/p>\n

You write to speak your truth and share your passion.<\/span><\/p>\n

We write to voice our desires and meet our destinies.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

We write to teach each other and learn from one another; to enrich our existence and touch our hearts; to feel<\/em> with clarity pure and true.<\/span><\/p>\n

We write to run with the urge to create, to fashion, to explore; to travel the cosmos and drink the light that is ours for the taking.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why write?<\/span><\/p>\n

Because the thoughts will keep circling until I commit them to screen and paper, until I forget about what people will say and focus on what I<\/strong> say.<\/span><\/p>\n

I choose clarity.<\/span><\/p>\n

I choose light.<\/span><\/p>\n

I choose the phoenix reborn again and again as the words of my soul flow forth from my core and out through my fingertips.<\/span><\/p>\n

I choose connection, interaction, community<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

I choose to weave my share into the Universal tapestry; to add my voice to the annals of humanity; to sing the beauty that is soul-fed expression.<\/span><\/p>\n

I choose to share my truth and my yearning, my hope and my journey, my purpose and my vision.<\/span><\/p>\n

Won’t you join me? \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

NB: Some of my friends seem to think I ask them to read my blog so they can tell me how well I write. Nothing could be further from the truth. I ask in the hope that we can connect through my posts, start an interaction for our mutual benefit, and build a supportive community that nurtures each and every one of its members.<\/span><\/p>\n
