Writing

I was reading Time magazine's profile of President Obama and I was stuck by one of the quotes:

"In my life, writing has always been an important exercise to clarify what I believe, what I see, what I care about, what my deepest values are.  The process of converting a jumble of thoughts into coherent sentences makes you ask tougher questions."

I like that quote.  That's one of the things that I'm finding as I blog more regularly.  Part of the attraction is the beauty that lies in a clearly crafted thought.  And the more frequently I write, the more frequently that beauty comes into being.
