Fleeting Gems

One should feel no urge or compulsion to write about anything in particular. One should just move, that is, rearrange words, craft and shape sentences, paragraphs, punctuation, follow the flow of grammar. Life isn’t about anything. It is about experience. So experience the movement of writing. What is this about? The very act of writing solves the puzzle. The gems may be there, but you have to put in the work, dig through the soil. Some priceless, some worthless, but always worthwhile. No act is in vain because there is no teleology at the end of writing. What is life about? The living and doing. Reflection is also doing. Either write or don’t write, that is the only choice we have.
