Many years ago a question was posed to me by one of my Dearest: why do you write so much? I searched for a very long time for an answer for this Dearest, and then I responded: it is because I see so much…so much needless death…and so much needful life. I see the joy to be had just by using breath: words written are like the finished act of breathing, where on inhale, tiny pieces of life begin popping up in every mitochondria that chooses to breathe with me. So when I breathe out…here you may not understand so well: just by your breathing in my vicinity, you may be inspired to keep life, and that more abundantly. (think: with every breath taken by all the people on the planet today—and inside Space Formations too—some large number of atoms from Leonardo da Vinci, say, is breathed in by them.) 

Because I cherish humanity so much, live my human status so much, and desire to know so much, I find that these things have lead me to frame a maxim that expresses nearly all of my whys: ‘The more words you know what they mean, the more personal words you have to see with, write with, love with….’

(There are 12 other free places where I keep my writings. Go also, if you wish, and read what is there.)
