The why is easy enough ... to communicate, to say something which must be said when no other vehicle will work. The author becomes a wordsmith, imparting his view of the world to others. The drive behind such a need is not so clear. Enlightenment, questioning, to bring new insights and horizons to others who see things differently, even pure entertainment ... all are feeds to such a desire. In my case, there is also the need to share what I see, what I experience. I see each of us as a stone cast into a pond; each of us sends out ripples which touch others. Each of our lives is made up from the ripples of others.
