This song is only one of many that represents why I love to read and why reading has always been such an important part of my whole life from childhood until now . What I have learned through reading is invaluable , priceless, and has become a part of me that is inseparable from my personality . My knowledge of human nature , the light, love, dark, and shadows along with all creatures bright and ugly and more drawn to the spirit of my own and other peoples' curiosity which gives us a real purpose for living on this Earth started and was further nurtured by reading . It was a natural procession to want to share my findings with others or I felt I would burst at times . When not always finding a person to listen , I found animals , imaginary families with baby dolls and mostly soldiers or Cowboys or Indians as the Daddys ! Then I learned to write and draw and I had this wonderful new outlet of my very own to keep secret . I did in many diaries, then notebooks, then journals over the years . It really has only been within the last few years that I have begun to share with people in thinking maybe I could help others in some way.
I was an English Literature Teacher and Creative Writing teacher for over 15 years until state budget cuts nipped my job. This is when I decided that the best feeling I ever had was working feel less confused or to understand more in life . The best way I could think to do this would be to shine a light on things of interest prove their value and worth in the scheme of our world. Everyone is good at something and has this light from within to share. I read because I breathe and I write because I must try to give back to the people I graciously learn from and love. It is their air I breathe too ! We all need each other to live . I hope I am serving my purpose in the right way . People are mostly Beautiful -- look around and open your eyes . ❤️
