the power of writing


what do you love?
objects / ideas / people

how is that thing you love supported by writing?

The Constitution / computer code / the Bible / marriage license / birth certificate / movie script

in close


in search for perpetuity, we write
when death knocks, we write
our life events, supported by writing
to move through this world, we write


i don't ask that you love writing--just know of it's vast importance to everything you do
