SIXTEEN
To bring at-rest parts of my mind alive, to share, to build on fears, on hopes, to capture what others don’t see, to record the subtle, to let strangers into my mind, my life, my vision, to scare the ego by putting my creation up for perusal, criticism and judgment. To go around in circles, to weave patterns, to jump out of boxes, to reinvent wheels, to indulge myself, to pleasure others, to hurt, to ease pain, to de-clutter my mind, to distract it, to mess the reader's mind. For the present, for the future, of the past, to leave prints in heads when I am gone, to see eyes connect, for reactions, for inspiration. When I am feeling claustrophobic, when I want to be a rock, when I want to reach out and say hi!, to bond to give, to live.
It's also what you do for a living hash. If you think about it.
To alleviate the mind, to lighten the heart, to create something new, to start a movement, to think of the extraordinary, to feel numb, to be sensitive, to gain empathy, to lend sympathy, to escape from the present, to confront the past and to live and not merely exist, I write.

All Best...
Come now don't be selfish, Goldfluke. We need you around.
