The Quill

It can soothe or it can kill because nothing is as powerful as the quill.

The pen is as mighty as we permit it to be, Carole! It's double edged, and we should be careful which side we make use of. One false move, and somebody could easily become a victim. Your meaningful Monoku could be the subject for a deep discussion. Regards // paul

Hi Paul. Thanks for commenting on "The Quill" and you are right. Writers must be very careful what they "say" because there is so much power in the written (and spoken) word but especially the written word because it can reach so many and last so long and heal or hurt so many and so much. Carole :D.
