" Writers are scribes of the human experience. To write about life we must see it and feel it, and in a way that eludes most … we are alive in a way that others are not. We are all about meaning. About subtext. We notice what others don’t. If the purpose of the human experience is to immerse ourselves in growth and enlightenment, moving closer and closer to whatever spiritual truth you seek - hopefully have a few laughs and a few tears along the way - wearing the nametag of a writer makes that experience more vivid. We’re hands-on with life, and in the process of committing our observations to the page we add value to it for others. "
