I write because I love to communicate but don't always feel comfortable doing it face-to-face. I write because of my big sister. She's two years older than me and when she'd get home from first grade — being a bossy older sister — she'd sit me right down and force me to learn whatever lessons she had endured that day. As a result, I was reading proficiently at four years of age and promptly began my lifelong love affair with the written word.
I'm not sure humans are creating anything, more like reassembling the pieces that already exist. Reassembling the words, we used to write, now we type. What we type about does matter.
I am puzzled to think of this word create as I turn an aerobic compost heap, bacteria is produced through many billion, even trillions of divisions, did I not create them based on my effort?
I am producing landscapes that feed both the biology of the planet as well as myself.
Love this! I can relate in a musical way! I am not a trained musician, but rather I was “born a musician”. Since I was able to climb up on the piano bench (age 3-4) of that old upright that was in our basement (next to the laundry area), I have been making music! I have always considered my musical ability an amazing and generous gift bestowed upon me by my creator!
Hope you never stop sharing your thoughts and feelings via the written word...an amazing way to communicate...thank you!
Ditto and more ditto! I am blessed to have discovered (or perhaps was led to) YOU in a sea of writers! You have a “familiarity” that is hard to explain, but my soul craves all things familiar (old places, old music, old movies, old friendships, etc.) in a world I barely recognize anymore…the familiar keeps me grounded!
Also, the pen is symbolically like the sword, which is akin to Air, which is in part about intellect. And, in the beginning was the Word, and that is the essence of magic.
Love this - and we create because we are expressions of infinite creative life - as you know - it's our purpose - and our "rent" for eating the fruits of the trees & the Earth.... and we are here to learn from each other and teach each other - creativity is the process and the expression!
I used to sew a lot more, now I have to wait till I can see the eye of the needle LOL. I crochet and knit. Writing was when I was younger, it ended with a dairy that now I sometimes write in once or twice a month. But as you can see, I love to type!
Thank you for sharing your lovely journey of becoming the Light Bearer that you are, Mickey. I agree with another commenter that your words are familiar; they help me to feel more at home in the world (not an easy task). And I appreciate your letting yourself be vulnerable (as in your first sentence).
It’s fascinating to me how the universe or Spirit so clearly conspired to support and encourage your unfolding of who you are now. (In my humble opinion, Spirit conspires for all of us in support of our becoming, but it’s not always with tangible encouragement. It’s not always easy to grasp the love that exists beneath all of our experiences. As they say, some gifts come poorly wrapped! lol)
I’ve meditated for many years and sometimes I’m given images or messages for people from something higher on the other side. So… In the department of whatever-this-is-worth-to-you –
as I closed my eyes to ponder how to close my comment, I was shown an image of you as Krishna playing his flute!
I know you are thankful for all the encouragement you received! I wish I had had something like one-tenth of that. I told my mother I wanted to write and was told that it was impossible. I spent ONE MONTH in eleventh grade in a school in Riverside, California, and that was the only encouragement I ever got from anyone. First day of English class: Read The Scarlet Letter and prepare to write an essay in class one week from now. The teacher read my essay aloud to the class. I had a guidance counselor who actually cared about me and said she wished I could come and live with her. How different my life would have been if that had been possible!
“I wanna be a bold explorer — striving to witness, experience, and discover everything within the vast realm of my own unique imagination, curiosity, and creativity.”
YES!! Thank you for sharing your writings with all of us! ❤️
I am pleased for you my friend that you found and realized your purpose and do great things with it. Unfortunately many never find or realize theirs which is why the world has so many lost souls.

You asked for 'it'!
Hi Mickey. Have you ever read about the Gratitude Letter exercise?
I make music because it's the next best thing to telepathy.
Great great attitude, and great reasons for writing!

At the "Beginning" there was a "Verb"...Sounds a bell to anyone !?!?!?!

To verb-ing forever!!
