Writing helps our names to live beyond the grave.
So, who knows? Maybe your name will live beyond the grave. Maybe your words will leave a mark on the world saying, “I was here.”
When you read the works of Seth Godin, his words touch your heart and inspire you to change. You can’t help but feel awed by his words.
When you read the sensational works of Dushka Zapata, time flies away from you. You see the clear picture she creates in your mind. If you have never read her work, read her unforgettable answer to the question, ‘I’m blind. What does it feel to see? What feelings do colors cause?’ on Quora.
She gives unforgettable meaning to colors.
Her words describing the green color:
“When was the last time you looked forward to something like a visit from a person you loved? Do you remember how you felt early on the morning of this anticipated occasion, the day you’d been waiting for stretched out immediately before you? That’s green; the tight, certain potential of a bud.”
Her words describing the red color:
“Listen to any song by Alicia Keys, all loud and full and scratchy. I think her music is red; insistent, impetuous, demanding. Red is hard to look away from and it likes it that way. It’s always such a show-off.”
When you read the works of Jon Morrow — my favorite blogger — your heartbeat speeds up. You sob when you read his unforgettable article, On Dying, Mothers, and Fighting for Your Ideas.
You forget you are reading words on your computer. Your mind transports to the hospital with the author fighting for his life. Your heart sings for a human being’s resilience in times of a tragedy.
