You’d be surprised how a sense of urgency seems to enhance one’s communication skills.  When you are afraid, when you are scared that time is running out and that your time in this world, your time and the time of those around is almost over, you have this burning sense that you need to get this out there before it’s too late. 

Some people create magic with visual arts:  they are able to show us the emotions inside our souls.  This is what sadness looks like.  This is how it feels to be happy.  The ability to create an image from one’s soul and transform it into a physical reality is one that amazes and delights me.

Some people create dances, symphonies of physical movement that we can connect to through our memories of our body’s movements.  One who dances creates beauty through the movement of the physical form.  Watching dancers dance, like other forms of creative outlet, evokes in us memories of the way we have all felt.

The same is true of watching a play, where a group of people with hearts and souls, create fictional characters in a world of make-believe who can make us laugh, cry, or remember moments of our lives. 

I am a writer.  My medium is words.  I arrange words on a page in order to evoke something in you.
