Justine Engelbrecht
"I am not frightened by the words that fall from the pages of the books on my shelves. The knowledge and power that vibrates and flutters as a moths wings by the light of a candle, as I turn from one page to the next.
The feel of the paper rough between my forefinger and thumb makes me shudder as I cling like a cocoon to a wall, onto to every word that lies before me.
Smoke passes through a keyhole as fast as time gone by, I question myself on what I have learnt and wonder on the knowledge that lies in wait for me in my years to come.
Writing and the ability to write are our wonders of gifts and blessings, like speech, enabling us to communicate one to the other. The written word read in silence or aloud shares knowledge which brings power, do not take it for granted and use it as you would a treasure.
Beauty and Inspiration depicted through time written by the quills of artists and moulded from within the hearts and souls of the passionate and the creative. Never let a word fall unspoken or unwritten that could have touched a heart or spared a life.
Talk only from the heart and write from the depths of your soul, for it is aesthetic inspiration that differentiates the dreamer from the artist."
