Let us record the atoms as they fall upon the mind in the order in which they fall, let us trace the pattern, however disconnected and incoherent in appearance, which each sight or incident scores upon the consciousness.

- to have a place to outlet my opinions, feelings, fears
- to have a place to write from my heart, soul and mind
- to create a window of understanding into life as a person with a long term health condition and the artful need to live an ingenious lifestyle ~ Neil Marcus
- to make clear what is important to me
