I Am Still Compelled

Posted in Other Blogs, Philosophy, Quotes, Writing, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on March 19, 2025| Leave a Comment »

I write, because I feel compelled to write.   My mind overflows with thoughts and ideas that are begging to be put onto paper.
Even though I love writing, it can be difficult.   The words don’t always flow out of me.   At times, I look inside myself and find an empty abyss.   It’s frustrating, but I cannot quit.
Writing is a part of me.   It’s what I do.   It’s who I am.

I followed the blog for several years.  I’m not sure when Lynn stopped her posting.

I hope she is still writing in some other location or format.   —    kmab]

The Chain Must Be Broken

Posted in Philosophy, Quotes, tagged , , , , , , , , , on August 28, 2020| Leave a Comment »

Darkness cannot drive out darkness;  only light can do that.  Hate cannot drive out hate;  only love can do that.  Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction…  The chain reaction of evil — hate begetting hate, wars producing more wars — must be broken, or we shall be plunged into the dark abyss of annihilation.
     —    Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
