Why Write?
"We write to heighten our awareness of life…we write to taste life twice, in the moment and in introspection…we write to be able to transcend our life, to reach beyond it… to teach ourselves to speak with others, to record the journey into the labyrinth…to expand our world when feeling strangled, constricted, lonely… When I don't write I feel my world shrinking. I feel I lose my fire, my color."
Anais Nin.

Dear MilongaCat,
I really enjoyed reading your last two postings. what an incredible story about your 3 escapes . I admire your attitude towards life. If only more of us could treasure these fleeting moments we share in this Earthy life, we would be much happier and more successful in what we do.
Thank you for sharing.
I write from the heart,
I write for love, for desire
For feeling the passion within me
A passion which burns inside where no reason or principle can contain it nor stand against it
I write to open my heart, to a heart which opens in return
I write for love, for desire, a desire which is not a wish, nor a hope but a pulsating rhythm
That transcends everything.
Anais expresses things in a way that I could only dream of, so my quiet pleasure is in reading her words and feeling like she speaks my mind for me.
Thank you for sharing that wonderful quote.
