I crack open my faithful computer,

with hopes of connection.

I brace momentarily, then inhale possibility. Active, yet passive. I listen.

After a reverent hold, I slowly exhale truth and my fingers have no choice but to caress the

keyboard, sometimes gently, sometimes with such force that my senses lose track of time and

space. But I never lose my sense of purpose.

I write . . .

For self-discovery.

To look into an unflinching mirror.

To test the limits of my vulnerability.

To observe my own existence.

To peek into a profound well of possibility.

For the simple joy of creation.

For the poetic beauty.

For the deep, soulful dive within.

To be empowered through means greater than I.

To build meaningful connection.

To feel.

To heal.

To learn.

To share what I have learned.

To offer hope and illuminate the path forward.

To effect change.

To bridge divides.

To find common ground with others

To perpetuate truth.

To share in the human experience.

I breathe it all in and write.

Because I must.
