Why do I Write ?
I write because I seek to create a meaning in my life and community.
Writing allows me to craft and draft my own self , untangle my thoughts, and construct and retrieve and consolidated a personified personality and hence make sense of our lives and community . Writing lets us turn fluttering thoughts into little vessels that may take a life of their own course outside our minds. I write because I seek to understand my self more , discovery more of what I'm within . I seek to go beyond grave and gravity . I'm being conceived and hope to be born in the community of "The splendor of the blender" .
In a world that’s so unpredictable, writing is the only thing I feel I have complete control over—not the kind of anxious and illusory control we think we have when we’re scared, being hunted by the predating predators , the Caeser of our day, then the voice that can be voice and make the kind of liberating control one may experience when practicing a craft , is drafting drafts using a pen and a paper.
in words of Anaïs Nin, Diarist & Novelist. I too would state that,
“Writing to me means thinking, digging, pondering, creating, shattering. It means getting at the meaning of all things; it means reaching climaxes; it means moral and spiritual and physical life all in one. Writing implies manual labor, a strain on one’s conscience and an exercise of the mind. My life flows into ink and I am pleased.”
I know believingly that those who know not the truth are fools , in words of Bertolt Brecht and with him , I fervently admit that those who know the truth and call it alie are crimials.
Life have it simple that we will be adjucated and judged by history , no matter what comes and goes around, our civilization as Africans is called to stand the test of the time , this a clarion call to all us . We are called to lead and not to mislead, Africa needs leadership .
