"... I’ve been resisting the idea of sending you an email for a long time now!  But I decided I have to!  .... sent me the URL to your blog a while ago and ever since whenever I open it, I keep on reading and reading nonstop… I love the way you write, the ideas you share, the openness, and the simplicity..."

I have to admit i get quite a few statement of admiration and praise - I attribute it most to my professional success or the contrast that i have between the way i look and the way i am, i always get the schock of being too nerd for the cool and vice versa...Your message was just something else, it is one of a kind...it praised my writings which made me fly high with joy...Never knew that i had readers for the blog, it made me look up the stats get some pleasant revelations on the attraction of the slivers that i write to release my feelings, as in normal life, i do not find it easy to do so with spoken words...

I asked around to thank you for the message but i heard that you had a sad incident so i decided to thank you in public! Thank you for  caring enough to share the way you feel, it made a real difference with me, i quoted the ones that i can, the rest is for me to see and enjoy...

So to share the history of why do i write, i want to tell you when was the first time i knew that i love to write. As a science students all my life, taking an Art course was just a fear that i had to go through to graduate. In 1990, i was taking the first Art course in my life - It was taught by a crazy professor, an artist herself, when she described paintings , as if she was reading from an exciting book that unveils details that i really do not see.... Her excitment just caught up with me, and not only i read hundreds of pages, i got addicted to watching the painting and trying to follow the lines, logic and feelings that people wanted to convey....when i fail, i imagine and build my theories....The course was like an explosion of self discovery on the emotional side, to pass you have to write a paper...The first research paper in which i used computer only to write, did not even write a word with a pen...Odd but i still remember the feeling when i opened an empty document and i placed my hands on the keyboard...within a second, i was just typing and typing, it is as if all my emotions exploded when my hands touched the keyboard! It was then when i discovered that i love to write and that i loved the "Impressionism". It inspires me, coveying with strong brush strokes, strong feelings fueling multiple perspectives depending on the way you look at it...

Needless to say that i got an A+ in the paper and an A in the course;) This is a message to share my feelings as when i see you in person, i will just smile and say a quiet thank you - with no further details!!!
