To all the readers

Writing is a powerful force not to be used lightly but hopefully with finesse

                                         Whether used to create a Declaration of Independence

                                         or to lie down in green pastures

Writing serves as a medium of expression

                                         Whether used as an emotion to convey happiness

                                         or asking for forgiveness

Writing has been used as a sense of self

                                         Whether used to find one’s place in the world

                                         or establishing self-worth             

Writing has long been utilized as a literary device

                                         Whether experienced as flashbacks by Gilgamesh

                                         or as soliloquies depicted in Moby Dick

Writing knows no bounds except those imposed upon it

                                         Whether wishing well those far away friends

                                         or dreaded when mourning the passing of a loved one

Writing doesn’t choose to be personal or impersonal – Only the writer can do that

There is a certain allure that can only be quenched by putting pencil (I prefer pencil over pens) to paper

To put it simply,

Dan is writing ………….
