Expression Is for Anyone and Everyone

​Writing. It's the most beautiful word in the English dictionary. Expressing oneself through writing is the most romantic, tangible, symbolic substance. It's artistic and infinite. 

When you write about someone you love, they live forever.

I used to go to coffeeshops before COVID for four or five hours at a time, writing, being inspired, and drinking coffee endlessly. Just people watching would inspire idea after idea, with me contributing to everything from magazines to newspapers to bigger companies.

Expression is for anyone and everyone. Anyone can do it in any form and be inspired and change the world, quickly or slowly or anything in between.  The written word is powerful and subtle, soft and light, light and dark. It forms beginnings and endings.

Today I will write this, and think of the people I care about, who change form over the years, light my way, and reside in my heart, with words spoken and unspoken. Love is language in any form. Love is light. I capture love in the written word, in silent poetry screaming rhythm and substance.

Today I will write. 

I will write until I'm tired, until you change form, until love calls me away in the distance to finish my chores I never started, to dance with me rhythmically into the night.  I will stay awake writing, and fitting together words like a puzzle, making you live forever, infinitely in my heart. 

Writing is important and silent and loud and rhythmic.  Let's write.  Shall we dance? forever in my lungs....
