I write because we live in a world throbbing with beauty, because I want to put that beauty into words, and because I want to give some of it back. I do not always create art, but sometimes the inspiration and desire to create is art itself. Sometimes this is enough. Sometimes I am enough.

I know you’re excited, but please save all applause until the end. continue reading…
