Reflections on Writing

Excerpts from my Journals
[Undated. From sometime in the spring of 2000.]Eventually writing empties you.
There is nothing left to write, to think. You still feel, but without the weight of a past. The danger in emptiness lies in confronting the emotions hidden underneath the endless layers of the day to day.
What's left is usually painful.
Writing is a meditative process used to instill clarity in the writer.
It is as essential as sleep or bowel movements.
