So finally I return to remind myself of the essay you recommended on this topic and read it. Thank you, I found the essay so inspiring b/c the author and her journey remind me somewhat of myself, but I haven’t yet reached the mountaintop.

And sometimes… shshshshshsh… sometimes I like the fact that I am a set of people rather than one, properly integrated whole. I’d rather not think about why just now but choose simply to quietly nod over this truth. Later perhaps I will explore.

That’s right, we write to understand, exactly. Thank you!

Thanks so much, Sarah. And I love that: art defines the artist. At least over time, I would think, back and forth, each impacting the other, getting closer and closer to one in the same. Interesting to think about.

I’ll need to read that essay. But yes, it’s a lesson we have to re-learn so much that I think probably we’ve both said it more than once on this very blog, you in your micro essays and I in my comments, that we don’t write to convey what we understand, we write in order to understand. I’ve also said many times that I write because it makes me more whole, and this new “stringing together the me’s” concept of yours is another good way of understanding how to make a whole. I like it. Thank you for that insight!

Art defines the artist?
