Why I want to write

  I want to write things that enter into people’s hearts and pump blood in the opposite direction.I want to write pages that you’ll read backwards just to experience a new way of looking at things.I want to write stories that take you to the inside of loss and out again, via waterfalls and sometimes rainbows.I want to write in ways that make politicians get down off their high horses and take note of the sacred ground beneath them.I want to write so that I can feel the rivers and the mountains inside me and the hollowed out spine of my love.I want to write about the places I still long to go but may never reach.I want to write rage into hope, and hope into action, and action into change, and change into the singular understanding that when I breathe out, you breathe in.And you? Why do you write?
