It's Only Words

Writing is a thirst I haven't quite quenched yet, a passion still to be unbridled. Lest I lose a cherished though neglected gift, I might as well give it free rein.

Writing is more than just neat syntax and clever juxtaposition of ideas. Words don't have a meaning. They seek a meaning. For words to have power, they need soul. A story chooses its listeners when the storyteller knows its heart and knows it by heart. After all is said and written, the ones that really stand the test of time are those with timeless message and ageless appeal. In their core lies the seed of truth guised as etched, scribbled, printed, or pixelated characters trying to find a purpose in order to escape the limits of abstraction.

To be a bearer of truth and to beautifully and meaningfully convey it are both my hope and fulfillment as a writer.
