Writing

Writing is a gift that allows us to explore the world through words. Translating our emotions into understandable terms for others to read is always the goal. However, the most important part is allowing the mind to process the feelings of the heart. Writing offers a release of pent up thoughts. It permits the volcanoe to erupt when everything else chooses to put a cork in it. There is an escape to be found in the realm of writing. Placing words on a blank page entitles the writer ownership of thoughts and feelings. They can be shared or hidden words but the perspective is the property of one soul. The creativity of thought is as fleeting as the ship in a harbor. Time and personal orientation change the emotions and the thoughts that surround them. Writing civilizes us. Writing cultivates us. Writing brings about growth. Writing broadens horizons. Talent is not a precursor to writing. Talent is what dawns from the dust created when thoughts are penned. One person reached through words opens avenues for others. Like coffee stirred with the milk and sugar blended, mingled thoughts permit discussion. Similarities and friendships can be found in the expression of ideas. Writing erodes the bridges placed between us. Aloneness withers away through our writing.
