I like to think and so I like to write and record thoughts that otherwise I might forget
Often I may really like to revisit them and see where they take me or to return to the place of their origin. to re-live what inspired them to begin with.
If I share those thoughts and can connect with another because of them, then writing and being read by others offers a certain intimacy that transcends time and space.
Intimacy found nowhere or no other way. Thus making the world a little less lonely for both reader and writer i.e. myself and others. Well, that is my hope, or intent or even vulnerability.
For I know going in that words are not a perfect medium for expression. Too easily are they altered by the pre-existing soil that is the garden of the readers understanding and or my own limit to express whatever I first seek to plant or share within the community garden of thought.
I see the mind of the masses can be as a wild herd of horses, nearly impossible to bridal or tame. Poetry, parables and short stories that bring about personal revelations or profound yet often simple truths about the human experience are, I think, my favorite. Writings that at the end leave the reader with optimism and/or a chuckle. Well wish me luck
I am "dTb"
I came up with this signature a few years ago due to a word called/ pronounced "teshell" if I am spelling it right. what it means is "thou mayest" if you look at the letters themselves they together look like a small scale this was very much like the old fashioned scales used to weigh coins or materials for market they were actually made from two sticks forming a T and with twine that supported two sea shells of equal/similar weight. When the shells were balanced you knew the weight was the same on both sides. And isn't that what equality is all about. Similarity and balance together yield healthy relationships. Something I always wanted to be aware/mindful of regarding what I choose to share. All in the hope that thou mayest (perhaps) get to know me.
Thanks.. dTb
Here I am with Mary
