The spirit

So I'm not worried so much about being published. Hey, a blog is self-publication, right? I guess I should worry about it, but it's more that I want to write. The more I write, no matter the subject, the better I feel. It may be that writing is a form of prayer for me, art (or my version of it) as a form of spiritual soothing, the release of trouble, struggle, one step close to enlightenment. The experiences of discovering things new and foreign being the closest to God I have gotten thus far.

To get it down on the page and out of your head, not because it torments you (although sometimes it does), but because you have to let it out. You become stagnant in your own silly routines and have to break from the monotony, writing the conscious break. It's almost a window into another place, or maybe a view into yourself. Maybe writing is my holy spirit...
