Why do you write?

To write


Writing. Why write?

I need to get my thoughts out of my head. They became clear and I can make connections when I can literally see them.

I write as a way to worship.

I write for emotional release. To allowed the pent-up to flow-out.

I write because it feels good and right. Healing. Energizing.

I write because paper and pens are dear friends. Allies. Trustworthy companions. Confidantes.

I write to connect with others. To put words to what we both think and feel and experience.

I write to encourage. To remind us that we are not alone in our struggles.

I write as prayer.

I write to confess.

Allah, show me where I am.  With my blog. With writing. With my voice.
