Why I write every day.

On the search for crystals

I’ve been writing every day for about 5 months!

And it’s become such a habit, like breakfast.

As I was thinking about what to write today, I combed through my notebooks for ideas. I read pages and chapters from some of the books that I keep close to me.

And so I got many ideas about what to write about, but I’m not going to use those.

Instead I will tell you that, the reason I write, is exactly so I can examine and crystallise at least one of the thousands of thoughts that transition through my mind throughout the day. Or find new thoughts to examine.

I write so that I keep looking for things to write about.

It keeps my mind open and searching.
