Words can invite you to step into a pair of moccasins and walk through the woods.

Or help you slip on a pair of track shoes and sprint to victory.

Words can be the patent leathers that take you to meet the president.

Or they can weigh like the moon boot that protects a broken ankle.

Words make stories that ask writers and readers to leave themselves behind for awhile.  Step out of your skin and into someone else’s.  Sometimes you’ll shiver with fright.  Other times your heart will ache with loss.  Or dance with joy.

Maybe you’ll walk away with a bit of understanding of someone else’s life and experiences that you didn’t have before.  

Let the words carry you away.
