		<description><![CDATA[As Marilee Swirczek said, Writing is the act of selecting and organizing words&#8211;creating prose with words&#8211;with the purpose of providing the reader with an insight, or truth, into the human condition. Yes, one can write simply to entertain or to produce a laugh or a reaction, but insight is the higher goal of writing, The [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The map is not the territory. The word is not the thing. It&#8217;s a beautiful proverb; one enjoyed by therapists and martial artists the world over. It makes a great meditation, a provoking opening for a poem, and a wise counter for pontificating intellectuals. But what does it truly mean? Like Smee, I feel &#8220;lightning [...]]]></description>

None of them are as simple as yes or no. None of them can be answered with child-like tantrums and emotional appeal. What is lacking [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Air is optional. I hear so much about how people &#8220;need&#8221; this and &#8220;need&#8221; that. So what is it that we really need as a person? You might argue that, to survive, a person needs food, clothing, shelter, water, and air. But who needs to survive? At first, I&#8217;m sure that question sounds absurd. Let&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

But I think that&#8217;s one powerful part of battles: less is more. The story needs a great deal of buildup and tension to set off a powerful battle, whether it&#8217;s one [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wwwwwwowwww&#8230; who would have thought that origami could build telescopes? It&#8217;s a rhetorical question, really. After studying martial arts for so many years, I can see how pursuit of mastery and perfection in any art transforms a person into something greater. And, amazingly, in doing so it also transforms the culture and society around that [...]]]></description>
