This is Why I Write
While reading the Holy Bible I read a Scripture that states
"Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks"
With that said, I understood that every word I say or write reveals something about me--
It reveals the deep,
It reveals hidden epiphanies of myself and life--
My words have the power to bring forth healing and light--
Light that illuminates the darkest parts of me--
Light that requires me to correct the things that need to be,
Writing is an outlet where I am able to give myself--
Give myself to edification and wisdom and relatability to reach someone else.
I write because it is where I hear my heart truly speak,
I write because its words are powerful and unique.
I write because it gives me awareness of my center,-- a place where not religion, not tradition, but where God abides--
A place where truth is illuminated in a world full of opinions and lies.
Words birthed from pain and gladness
Hold the power to reach someone perhaps in a state of madness.
I write because I know that in this life I serve a purpose--
A purpose to live, feel, and record life's experiences, just in case someone may need to reminded of this--
This truth alone,
That no matter what season of life you are in, you are not alone.
I write to let the world know
That life is full of people and stories that need to be told--
So I write, because I know
That our words articulate our experiences that have the power to touch a heart and reach a soul.
This is why I write!
