Publisher's Synopsis
"You know that a writer's in trouble (deep?) once they resort to writing about writing" The Pen is Mightier than the Sword A powerful idea, well expressed can change the world... for the better! Words, a thought like... "I can't do much... yet I can do something!" "You be the change you wish to see in the world." "You can help change the world from where you're standing." and Dr Martin Luther-King's famous words 'I have a dream!' "I write with passion and (a) purpose" "I make art through writing...and words are my tools." from https: //craigsbooks.wordpress.com/2014/10/25/i-make-art-through-writing and-words-are-my-tools/ and https: //writingonthedge.wordpress.com/2015/07/07/sharing-a-few-thoughts-... I love the beauty, power and magic of the written and spoken word, so love "working and playing around" with words. (A passionate and "attention-grabbing" opening line for this article, Craig!). I am fascinated with the variety, flow, rhythm and cadence of words and using language as a tool of communication. Because the words we use have such power in them. Words can be powerful motivators or powerful demotivators. Used positively the right words can encourage, uplift, even inspire and create endless joy and love in our lives... as well as in the lives of people whose lives we may touch (because in many ways we are all connected as citizens of 'planet earth'). So let's always use right positive words as a helpful instrument of encouragement to uplift others. Even in the "tiniest" way! Start planting the seeds of your encouraging words in the fertile soil of your mind. Change yourself first through your words (ie."self-talk" and affirmations) and you may perhaps even start changing the world!. How's this for some beautiful and wise words? "Lord Grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood, as to understand; to be loved, as to love." for more click on https: //craigswritingarticles.wordpress.com/2014/03/10/sharing-a-few-tho... and https: //writingonthedge.wordpress.com/2015/07/07/sharing-a-few-thoughts-... With passion and purpose in our individual lives we can touch others and in so doing, together we can illuminate the hearts and minds of humanity to help make a better world (through helping raise the 'collective consciousness'). Let us encourage our leaders towards an alternate vision for the world to embrace: one that banishes the fanatical ideology of intolerance and hatred to the darkness from which it emerged. Each one of us in our own little ways can offer (and most importantly, LIVE) this compelling new horizon: a bright future of justness. tolerance, respect for other traditions and values. Especially a vision of hope and thoughts ofpeace fuelled by the eternal flame of love, which can light the darkest night... always" - c ( 2000) from www.craigsquotes.wordpress.com and https: //fromseedsofhatetobondsoflove.wordpress.com/2014/07/ "Together, one mind, one heart, one life, one small step at a time, let's link hands and march into a new tomorrow, a better and brighter future. TOGETHER we can do it" - c from www.craigsquotes.wordpress.com TOGETHER, one mind, one heart, one soul, one small step at a time, we can make some difference towards a better world, a brighter tomorrow "SHARE, ENCOURAGE and SPREAD, HOPE, LOVE and LIGHT"
