Writing to No One

I write on the Net  -  writing to no one in particular. I share my emotions  -  my joy and my pains. I am proud to showcase my family and friends who have been kind to me. What's wrong with this?

Whenever I'm troubled, I just pour out my feelings into the Blue Nothing. I tend to be rather very insular on a personal level but not on the Net.  My troubles seem to shoot into the infinite caldera of Cyberspace, taking the demons that torture my soul with them.

Writing has been very cathartic for me. This has been my way of keeping ennui and boredom at bay, too.

For me, writing is foremost a mode of thinking and, when it works well, an act of discovery.

Joseph Epstein

Have I Changed?

Have I changed?
Yes, I think I have.
But not many people knew this
For they had encountered me
When I was then young and angry
Struggling against hurt and pain
Unable to enjoy the youthful days of my life.

Have I changed?
Yes, I think I have.
I'm no more young or angry
But senescent, and probably a bit sanguine
Having found peace or solitude with my writings,
To enjoy a simple, carefree but exciting life.

Have I changed?
Yes, I think I have
I thank the Lord
For my having discovered writing
Which  has made me a better person
To enjoy the twilight years of my life.

There is nothing noble about being superior to other men.

The true nobility is being superior to your previous self.

Hindustani Proverb

A Wordsmith I’m Not

A wordsmith, I'm not
But I love words,
I know words
And I enjoy the pleasure of words

A wordsmith I'm not
But I love to write
I write in my simple style
And I find excitement in my writings.

A wordsmith, I'm not
But I'm not afraid to write,
I write of my simple life
And I make something out of nothing.

What I offer here [in my writings] is not my teaching, but my study; not a lesson for others, but for myself.

Montaigne
