Why do we write?
I long to know the answer
But there is no clear answer
This is not an equation
It cannot be narrowed down to a fact, or even a theory
It is a question that will go unanswered for as long as humankind is around

Maybe the thoughts we think are too deep
So, like thinking out loud, we organize them into columns and sections, rereading them over and over until they make sense
Our eyes can make our minds, that see a jumble of symbols and drawings, see something more constructive
It is convenient

It is like water
How can something clear and invisible be seen and felt
Take a small cup of water from the vast and confusing ocean and it is easier to understand
Take a small sentence from our vast and confusing minds and it is easier to comprehend
