Compelled to Write

We are all supposed to write.  We are all compelled to write.

It is why charcoal sticks to fingers, cooled embers from firepits scrub off into pictographs on cave walls.

We document our existence, our selves, our pasts and our futures.

It's in our DNA.

There are messages being passed forward

Ancestor to child to adult to ancestor.

Each of us is tasked with carrying the wisdom

One step further. 

One mile further.

One life further.
