Gift Point Log
Thank you Gabriella for the beautiful ribbon gracing our page!



There have been moments in which words have changed the course of history:

         I know I have the body but of a weak and feeble woman, but I have the heart and stomach of a king... ~Queen Elizabeth I

         I cannot and will not recant anything, since it is neither safe nor right to go against conscience. ~Martin Luther

         We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. ~Thomas Jefferson (et al.)

         But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate, we can not consecrate, we can not hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. ~Abraham Lincoln

         The only thing they have to look forward to is hope. And you have to give them hope. Hope for a better world, hope for a better tomorrow, hope for a better place to come to if the pressures at home are too great. Hope that all will be all right. ~Harvey Milk

         Go forth and set the world on fire. ~St. Ignatius of Loyola

There are countless such moments, each as powerful if not more, in which mankind has utilized language not simply as means to a desired end, but to evolve as a species...

To be a member of this group is to understand that rare ability, endeavoring through all things creative to demonstrate it in everything we do, and to seek out others that, regardless of experience or standing, do the same.

Due to circumstances beyond my control, This Is Why We Write will be temporarily inactive.
The current members, however, remain as deserving of their recruitment honors as ever. Thank you for visiting.
