Writing

When you put words onto paper, the most you can hope to convey is a shadow of the passion in your mind. The words that promised to give the meaning you have experienced or are searching for reveal themselves to be idle shams. Yet in this shadow, we can see the reflection of passion, the passing silhouette of a grand splendor. By using words to create a crude wooden frame, the imagination can emboss and finish until the doorway into another world is firmly made and we may step through it. To create this frame, this support structure for the imagination, may be one of the highest goals of mankind.
This is why we are writers.
