My writing is a search for Truth…

Published: January 26th, 2001

“My writing is a search for Truth.
It comes out of love.
It empowers; it does not judge
          or accuse or rob anyone of
          dignity or respect.
It is clear and precise.
The passage of my words through
          the minds of others leaves them
          more open, more thoughtful,
          compassionate, committed to
          Quality.
Every one of my readers is the Key
          to the Workability of the Planet.
I give in my writing of myself
          and my struggles unstintingly;
          it is all I have to give; the
          “I” of it is unimportant; it is
          the universal humanness that
          is important.
I write to ennoble others, not myself.”
