How to write like a Redwood.

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.
