WRITING

Connect

Writing is like going alone on a journey in an unknown land. On this journey, you may discover new sides of yourself and others, and maybe hidden truths.

Writing is a lonely craft Writing is work I have to do alone Writing takes place in my private inner space Where only I rule

Being alone Is sometimes necessary When I need to think When I write

Feeling lonely Is not necessarily Bad for me When I strive

Loneliness can be good When I wander Across my inner landscapes In quest for meaning

But being alone Feeling lonely Are only stages On the path towards meaning

The meaning Of being a human Resides in the quest For the other human

The meaning Of being a human Reveals when The other appears

The meaning of existence Becomes real When I meet and connect With the other — with you
