Here is found a window into the world of authors
who view the discussion of nature, the environment, economics, philosophy, poetry, art, science, politics, living, as a responsibility not to be taken lightly.
Reason can be used to persuade, but for us it is for understanding. Fiction can be used to distract, but for us it is to better focus the impasses and marvels of existence.The writer lives on a frontiers between worlds, travelling between what is and what is possible.
It suffices to slow your pace to see that the world is full of forums of thought and action. The writer since ancient times has both the goal to make known one forum to another, but to create even more.
Where a journalist seeks a discription of one or a series of events, the writer is concerned with ideas, feelings, stories, their development and circulation. Though the work of good journalism is essential to understand something of the world, and the line between good journalism and good writing is often blurred, this site does not have as a goal as an online newspaper.
Nothing is guaranteed in the march of time, nothing is certain, and there is work to be done. Well crafted words, good ideas, useful visions, solid texts, honest reporting, all must circulate and exchange.
We would try to assemble a community of writers for whom the engagement in the betternment of the environment, humanity, the intellect and the spirit are not forgotten empty words, but an everyday attempt.
I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts
of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die,
to discover that I had not lived.
H.D. Thoreau
