We never know who might read what we write--who might <i>need</i> to read what we write, what we might <i>need</i> to learn from that reader's response.Dawn Potterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07500960150846895633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540771071400993487.post-63420960418379005202015-12-05T17:00:02.295-05:002015-12-05T17:00:02.295-05:00I think there is a reason some of us are given the...I think there is a reason some of us are given the gift to be poets and writers, and I say that as a person who has been changed by a poem and who often writes poems that address the kinds of subjects you mention.

But even if I'd only ever received a single note that something I wrote changed a perspective or helped to heal, I would be delighted.<br /><br />We've all become so inured to the visual, which frequently fails to tell the truth.

If we do not do this, fear and cruelty become so day to day that it is the norm.Ruthnoreply@blogger.com
