Why Write?

Posted on by

Because there’s a message, a yearning, a calling.

Because there is truth bursting to be said, threatening to make my head implode if I don’t share it NOW.

Because the flow of of words and images becomes a tidal wave that sweeps my core and makes my skin tingle.

Because it’s more important to put your voice out there than to stay silent yet crying out for expression.

I write to nourish my soul and free my spirit.

You write to speak your truth and share your passion.

We write to voice our desires and meet our destinies.

We write to teach each other and learn from one another; to enrich our existence and touch our hearts; to feel with clarity pure and true.

We write to run with the urge to create, to fashion, to explore; to travel the cosmos and drink the light that is ours for the taking.

Why write?

Because the thoughts will keep circling until I commit them to screen and paper, until I forget about what people will say and focus on what I say.

I choose clarity.

I choose light.

I choose the phoenix reborn again and again as the words of my soul flow forth from my core and out through my fingertips.

I choose connection, interaction, community.

I choose to weave my share into the Universal tapestry; to add my voice to the annals of humanity; to sing the beauty that is soul-fed expression.

I choose to share my truth and my yearning, my hope and my journey, my purpose and my vision.

Won’t you join me? :)

NB: Some of my friends seem to think I ask them to read my blog so they can tell me how well I write. Nothing could be further from the truth. I ask in the hope that we can connect through my posts, start an interaction for our mutual benefit, and build a supportive community that nurtures each and every one of its members.

The Banner of Social Awareness

It can be flown anytime, anywhere, by anyone. It is a way of life: a belief system that transcends age, gender, and political or religious affiliation. The ability to operate on a higher plane of awareness, to envision progress on a grand scale, to make your dreams reality and effect widespread change: that is flying the banner.

You don’t have to be a genius for people to listen. You don’t have to be drop-dead gorgeous, filthy rich, or terribly prestigious to get others interested in your cause. You just need the core of a great idea. When you allow yourself the illumination of imagination, you tread the path of transformation.

What you see and what could be are often two sides of the same coin, and they are separated only by your ability to recognise that. So when you find yourself wondering if things can’t be different, you are simply following the lead of your subconscious, which by the way is more in tune with the world around you than your conscious self. The subconscious is not bound by any laws or restrictions; it simply exists. As such, its potential is limitless and its scope of vision is much wider than one would allow the conscious mind.

Questioning the status quo is often the psyche prodding one to reach higher and do better, to go beyond the constraints placed on us by others and achieve what we see in the mind’s eye. It is the subliminal urge to step outside a comfort zone and stretch for excellence, to challenge oneself on a constant basis, to aim for a lasting legacy of enlightenment and positive change.

Deep down in each and every one of us, we know when a situation can be better. We know when something can be improved or renewed, when change is inevitable, and when it is necessary to act or risk being stifled. We know when we must cast off apathy and achieve the “impossible”. It is left to us to be courageous enough to take that first step.

In order to fly the banner, you must act. In order to act, you must believe. In order to believe, you must think. Think. Task your mind. Mine the treasures waiting within you. Know that having a vision seemingly ahead of your time or generation is an awesome thing, a sure sign that you are aware of the power of an open mind. When your mind is broad, limber, and receptive to new ideas, you are capable of great things.

Embrace the chance to be the best version of yourself. Live your dreams. Fly the banner with pride.

This Is My Dream

I believe in the power of positive thinking, the efficacy of sound reasoning, and the revolution borne of enlightenment. It is my dream that my peers realise the greatness asleep within each and every one of them. 

Every time social change rocked the world, young people were at the forefront. Picket lines, violent and nonviolent protests, open letters in the media, demonstrations and rallies … the youth are always there, participating, thinking, acting.

It’s not just those who are youngsters because of age, but also those who visualise the future and want to make it the present. When you free your mind and think without boundaries or constraints, when you believe that anything is possible, you are young. 

Haven’t you noticed how pioneers never really seem to age? Their bodies may become old and frail, their health might not be as robust as before, but they are still young in their hearts and minds. You can see it shine in their eyes and hear it sing in their voices.  Continue reading →
