Why I Write

I write to listen

I write to order swirling thought

I write to still my mind

I write to make thinking visible

I write to understand

I write to heal

I write to learn — about life, love, self

I write to anchor insight

I write to celebrate Story 

I write to celebrate Life 

I write to celebrate the Sacred

I write to connect

I write to uplift

I write to encourage

I write to comfort

I write to explain

I write to instruct

I write to praise

I write to express gratitude

I write to celebrate success

I write to document life

I write because I can

I write because I must

Writing is my practice

Writing is my path

Writing is my work

Writing is my calling

Write now: make a list of all the reasons you write.
