Welcome to Motions/Words...
I think that these two go well together since you can't have one without the other.
I think that second to music is that of the motion picture. It is the place where you can see the imaginative, the fantastical, the unbelievable place where you can be enveloped in an array of emotions from pain to inspiration. It is stories told, it is love lost, it is the thrill of victory and it can also portray that which is real life. Movies....it's two or three hours of losing yourself in a world of picture. From Star Wars to X-Men, from Drunken Master to Hero, from Grease to Moulin Rouge...movies have been entertaining, moving, and always creating new worlds for us.
I can remember writing my first love letter. I can also remember writing my first poem and how horrid it turned out. I remember the journal I kept for years which was demolished in a single night by an unmentionable. I've always loved to write...letters mostly but I enjoyed the stream of conscious effort.
Of all the forms of expressions in the world to date, none is more dear to me than the written word. These days I find it very hard to listen to people speak as they butcher the English language with the overuse of words such as, "like", "you know", and multi-forms of incomprehensible language which has been justified as another form of speech. I'm not saying I speak ever so well, but I do enjoy languages a lot and think that people have lost the art of conversation and communication. They've lost the ability to speak where their words form what they feel.
I wanted to have a writing section because 1) I love stories of all kinds; 2) I love to see how other people express themselves through writing; and lastly, I think it's important to educate others on the art of writing. You may not like what's written in this section, but you're not the person who is writing it. Be open to other people's desires, emotions, and utterances. Please enjoy this section and feel free to submit something if you'd like.
My dear friend Alex Booth is a poet and submitted this for me:
"A note from one who can't do perspective"
Many nights we waited
Raw cellars, smoke, must in the
Mouth, wine
A warm and distant sea
Wanting something else
Thought life would announce itself
Not much different now
Distances simply greater
Faces less familiar, and farther
