We write because it brings clarity and passion to the act of living. Writing is sensual, experiential, grounding. Desire is the flint that lights the fire. When placed together they bring us to the ethereal. They expose and sooth the soul.
We write because humans are spiritual beings and writing is a powerful form of meditation. We write because writing yields us a body of work, a felt path through the world we live in.
Out from the brain and onto the page, the words are tokens of our experiences. Packets of feelings able to be re-examined, deliberated and judged. Rearranged and edited. Reviewed and amended and polished like new. A new path made with old stones. That path can be trodden by others and they can walk our curated path and hear our tale just as we intended.
However we can't control their shoes, their gait, where their head is turned or if they should slip and fall.
The path we leave is our interpretation for others to interpret in their turn.
