       Mind to page is the magic of writing.

Again.. to this remedy called writing we return
Time and time again, cyclical like, oftentimes
Unplanned, unprepared, unknowingly, unedited
Seeking wisdom, solace, freedom, faith, rest.
Or whatever it may offer - to write is therapy.

For the human beings that we are, in this world
From the human condition transforming it to divine
Is this magical activity called writing.. for it is digital
As well as manual, it has the making of human drama.
With civilizationing of humans.. with it we survive.

But for the ability to write, we would have been lost
With no ability to communicate, no history or culture...
With it, we are a different beast, be it one that still needs
Reformation, restoration, repentance and redemption.
Awakening our selves to an external and internal dimension.

Take away the maladies and comedies:  what have we left
Will we know of the great writers and their writings ?
Without which we would be so much the poorer,
Unlettered we would be worse than beasts, below all.
In the plan of nature, mankind is known by our thoughts.

It is a healing, this thing called writing: what with computers
All must pursue it, to regain sanctity and review one's own self
For in our scribbling we reckon with our souls, our conditions
As we think aloud, alike and alone all at once, soul as well as self.
Body mind and soul are one in this exercise of yoga like action.
