Words are Power (300)

I write a lot. Sometimes I type into a blog post- others I write, pen gripped in my hand on paper. Both mediums fill me with joy. I go days sometimes, without a thought expression unfolding on blank canvas. The brain is mysterious and magical and somehow it directs my attention to where it is needed. 

When the images collide and meld into letters and phrases, my mind brings me to the keys or ink. It lures me and almost, as if I am tethered to the ether, the energy swirls around me. I feel such a deep connection to the words, that they are no longer shapes and combinations- but whole entities, speaking, breathing and expressing themselves.

They shuffle, recombine- they tap me on the shoulder and whisper- "not here, over there." They are oxygen rich, cycling through my vascular tissue- filling me with life. At times they prefer to be hidden, within a bounded page, but others they want to be free, on the digital landscape. I can sense them, feel them approaching. Loud and boisterous or quiet and stealthy- no matter their arrival they find their place.

There are such beautiful words in the world that shape my vision, hone my auditory connection with words and for that I am thankful. For having the gift of words is a magnificent treasure- shimmering with hope and grace. At times they are spoken or written in anger, fear or ignorance- yet every word has its place, for words bring change and transformation- maybe not today as they swirl in negativity- but later when they settle and the dust becomes solid- we can look back and read them and grow from them.

I read such amazing books and inspiring blogs and I am grateful for the time given to the prose and narrative. Each a document of existence and life, of dreams and belief, of growth and magical insight. To every writer in the universe of letters, words, phrases and page- I say thank you. For my ether is entangled in yours. My moments of thought and quiet reflection are a tapestry very much woven into yours.

Words are power, writing is a magnificent exploration of cohesion, crescendo and the collective consciousness of humanity- and I for one am so grateful to be apart of it.
