Mightier than the sword

They say that writing soothes the mind and eases the tired and weary soul. The ability to conjure thoughts and imagination through aesthetic words on a printed page is a privileged ability granted to a select few. I've often wondered why some were presented with the inexplicable gift of writing with such staggering intensity and deftness, whereas others only possessed the proficiency to scribe their thoughts in tepid mediocrity at best. No doubt a skill that is refined by fire and tested through time, perhaps one day I will be able to pen a piece of literature that moves the body and warms the soul. Until then this blog will serve as my sharpening stone to hone my novice skills.
