Milkweed Augustine For me, the best thing about being a writer is the specialized bond we have with the realm of words, and that it is such a wondrous responsibility as it is God who has asked us, his very special children whom He has given extrodianry gifts. We use these words to teach, to inform, and to understand, but besides teaching, we writers, at least me as a Lama Rimpoche, a Buddhist High teacher, a Priestess, is to bring people into the fabric of our most hidden aspects of the human psyche, and that we can bring readers into the very cusp of entering the Heavenly domain, especially if God has chosen certain writers, such as myself, to perform this very duty of loving attribute. In one of my papers I had published long ago in 2005, the first volume of poetry books, 'SONGS OF MILKWEED; A GIFT FROM THE FIELDS" VOL I, at the book's very beginning, I speak passionately about this very topic. 'It is true that great civilations have been build, have been sustained, and have fallen by the power of the writer."

Milkweed Augustine I understand that. I do the very same thing in MY book and poems, and short noveletts. It is really something special when one can actually hear their own creation!
