Writing is (an author’s meditation)
Writing is an expression of greatest concern, a reaching for the deepest meaning, a searching of our souls. Writing is.
Writing is
The expression of our passions, dreams, hopes.
The realization of loss and the longing to return the past.
An examination of our hearts and souls.
A way to connect with our Creator.
Is anything such a pure expression?
In writing we say what we fear to say,
Live the life we fear to live,
Reach out to those we long to love.
Is anything as deep a conviction?
Through writing we speak what our mouths cannot,
Walk where we cannot go,
Reach a world we never meet.
Is anything such a full passion?
By writing we connect with strangers,
We lay bare our souls to scrutiny,
We love without reservation.
Writing is a full expression
Of the life we want to live,
The people we want to meet,
The legacy we wish to leave.
This, writing is.
Question: What is writing for you?
