We Write.



History.  
It is written so future generations can learn from the past, is it not?
It is written to remember where we came from, right?

Tempted to forget something important, 
I am told: "Write it down!"
A writen law shapes and governs the patterns of society.
Marriage vows, agreements, contracts are written and signed, binding people to those words.

Writen words can change someones life.

A book.
A letter.
A newspaper.


The majority of our book was written while in the deep woods of Texas.
With lessons from published authors and aide of seasoned writers, we wrote.
Memories, emotions, stories - a slightly painful task.

A year of packed bags and scribbled journals, a year of documenting injustices, an entire world of people permanently etched into your heart - unfolded onto paper.

Why?  Because written words can change someones life.



"The more that you read, 
the more things you will know.
The more that you learn, 
the more places you'll go."
- Dr. Seuss



Danae and Enoch live in Tyler, Texas.  We spent some quality time together during our time in Texas.


"If things start happening, don't worry, don't stew, 
just go right along and you'll start happening too."

"You're on your own.  And you know what you know.
And you are the one who'll decide where to go."

"Sometimes you never know the value of a moment,
until it becomes a memory."
