I need to write

On the why for writing I shall not forget

By Laura RodbenPublished 12 months ago 1 min read

I need to write, I want to write, I have to write. All the different spheres of my life popping up, piling up. Can I have it all? (You can.) I want to become a better being (academia-meditation); I want to take care of them all (academia-business); I want to help heal the world (business-academia-meditation). Is that what you wish for? Yes. I feel responsible somehow, having received so much, it’s time for me to give something back, go beyond. I’m not much driven anymore by my artistic-intellectual/travelling appetites (though they will always be there: they blended together, they are my very voice and being (cannot be otherwise indeed)), now I just want them to be ok, my beloved ones. Somehow I am now the tool (the how) to make all that happen (the why). (Can I do it? Can I do it? Of course you can! “Tú puedes, tú siempre puedes”) “Quién tiene un por qué siempre encontrará un cómo”. I have it now and time is running out. (They won’t be here forever.) I’ll come back here, anytime I lose track. Now, go!
