I’ve discovered the power words have to tell a story from my experience of journaling, reading books and writing and reading blog posts. Words have the ability to touch something within the writer and the reader. I’m seeing words as lovely seeds within each of us that make these stories. And, these stories come to fruition only when they are nurtured to life through our actions of writing them and sharing them. This blog post would not exist unless I write it and post it. Whether it’s content is good or bad is irrelevant. So at this time in my life, I’m comfortable to sit before a blank page in my journal or sit before a blank monitor and ask for words to share. It’s all a creative pursuit. Have a great week!

I was going to go with something flippant like, “Does a blog post make a noise if no one reads it,” but I’d be wrong. For the writer it makes all the noise it needs to.

Good question, J0e. One of those kones to contemplate on. By the way, thanks for your writings and your comments you share here. I value them!

I like your use of the seed metaphor as I’ve actually thought about “seeds” as a concept for so many things. You are spot on. The seed isn’t going to do much sitting on a table, but give it a little dirt and water … you may have something out of it.

Maybe we need to sometimes give it a lot of dirt and water and see what we get. Thanks, Mark!
