All writing is essentially autobiographical because our composed thought patterns reflect our accumulated life experiences. At some level, every type of work, whether it is literature, poetry, music, painting, photography, sculpture, or architecture, is always a portrait of the creator. We cannot escape ourselves any more than we can outrun our shadow.

A person living an artistic existence refuses to surrender to the winds of time, continues singing and dancing into the teeth of the harshest storm, and marvels in all of the delightful treasures of simply being.

Destroying the prior emaciated doppelgänger image that I held of myself is merely the first step of creating a revised personal identity. Can I accomplish the dissolution of my disembodied self and determinedly recreate a mutable sense of personal identity out of the scalded remnants of a psyche inferno?

Writing is an admixture of exposition, introspection, observation, deliberation, rumination, reflection, clarification, meditation, and expression. Perhaps no other activity offers a thoughtful person with as precise a means to inspect and marshal together their fragmented thoughts than writing.

Select people in every era must work outside the boundary lines of conventional society in order to make the clearest and most penetrating observations. A person whom makes advancements that rock the cradle of civilization is always a maverick preacher.

Their techniques might vary, but the essence of creation infuses all forms of art with the unique perspective of the artist. All artists engage in the act of imaginatively seeing from within and sharing with us their vision of the world on the canvas of their choosing.

Each of us is the custodian of our own history and the sole sentry responsible for their present and future existence.

All types of writing – prose, poetry, philosophy, and musical verses – entail sharing of thoughts and feelings. Similar to creating any of type of artistic oeuvre, a person whom writes essays and poetry must give part of oneself to other people.

Storytelling creates a healing serum. The thematic unguent of our personal story represents a fusion of the ineffable truths that each of us must discover within ourselves.
