How to write like a Redwood.

4/17/2012

 
Empathic writers hold affection
for those we write to.

Whether it’s a manifesto, magazine article,
corporate memo, screenplay, love poem or policy...

...there is something we want to say,
and someone we want to say it to.

Writing is a lot of things but, primarily, it is reaching.

It leans itself forward to connect an idea with a mind.
And ideally, a heart.

The best writing is clear and honest.
It stands tall, like a Redwood.
Easily seen.  Distinguishable.

And when you’ve read writing like that,
a lot of times you stand taller, too.

Because you’ve been honored, rather than bragged to.

Respected, rather than manipulated.

Seen, rather than sold.

Write tall, like a Redwood.
Use your words as an ecosystem,
rather than a clamor.

Endure the aging, the winds, the verticality.
Enjoy the knowing, the songs, the community.

Be a marvel and a home
to others.

Your writing is as you described in this post-

Leading by example.

We should always appreciate writers who always put efforts in writing to provide us knowledge and share information with us.

How Are You? An Existential Journal

The question "How are you?" is profound.

But it has been watered down to a synonym for "Hello." Forced or fake responses of obligated okayness are expected.

The question prompts an answer that begins with "I AM ________." Many times each day, you are invited to speak the most powerful statement that can be spoken of yourself.

For a change, take your time and tell your truth.
