'Writing because we can'

 

“Wewrite for the same reason that we walk, talk, climb mountains or swim theoceans - because we can. We have some impulse within us that makes us want toexplain ourselves to other human beings. That's why we paint, that's why wedare to love someone - because we have the impulse to explain who we are.” – MayaAngelou
It was my privilege to meet, talk withand learn from the great Maya Angelou, born in 1928 and an inspiration to all who seek to live the writinglife.
