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.
