The Divine Calling of Writers

As conduits for something greater than themselves, the wordsmith’s calling is no small task. If a star actor, as one who brings a penned character to life, is the tip of an iceberg-sized collection of cast, crew, producers, investors, agents, suppliers, promoters, distributors, wholesalers, retailers, businesses in the vicinity, etc., etc., then the writer is the tube through which water fills the ocean.

The Writer's Burden

To paraphrase a famous musician, writers are the coal miners of the world. The good writer must continuously embark on the arduous and sometimes perilous journey of uncovering and conveying truth. Writing demands courage and honesty, and like miners, writers delve into the depths to bring a valuable source of light and warmth to the surface.

Embracing the Divine Expectations

Similar to the story of Jesus, a writer is not only about crafting words but about enduring human suffering and transforming it into something meaningful. The path is fraught with challenges, yet it is a noble pursuit, one that demands resilience and a commitment to truth.

Encouragement and Resilience

To all writers, remember that your work is significant. You are tasked with capturing the essence of humanity and sharing it with the world. Embrace the challenges, for they are part of the journey. In the face of adversity, lean on your creativity, and let your words serve as a beacon of understanding for posterity.
