i don't write. i create worlds. words are my wand. i am a conjurer. i dream through ink.

In this moment, I am writer. Tomorrow I could become the written-the dream a writer has about a life she wants to live. In the now, I write what suits me; prose, poetry, commentary, the life of earth, doesn't matter much. Everything is a story waiting to be told, a memory waiting to be relived in some unique way. I am a memory keeper-writing in stone, in sand, on papyrus, on paper, on screen. I am memory. I am writer.

I am earth and sky. Everything cosmic is within me.

I write my insides until they become visible to me and those who see me. Earth words are never enough. There is another language that paper cannot hold. The words here are an effort to describe the indescribable.

Me in the world...
