Why Do I Write ?

I write because there's this steady stream of thought that runs through my mind. I can't seem to make it stop, and it swells and ebbs at different times. Of this I have very little control. I write so I can try to make sense of it as I piece it together. Some are fragmented, some are entire symphonies.  I write so that I can somehow make these thoughts more real; own them more fully, as mine.

Who do I think reads this ? I don't know. And while in the early days I did, I now don't care. I know I read it. And so does Alisha, now and then. I have cautioned her that some of it is inappropriate, but I know she reads some of it anyway. Perhaps someday both of them will read and understand a lot of what I write here. There is wisdom to be had, this much I am certain. In an odd way, and pathetic as it may sound - this is a part of my legacy.
