My photographic and writing purpose

My photographic and writing purpose — I write it down:

So I don’t forget.
To understand myself and the world.
To explain myself and the world to others.
To offer support.
To create beauty.
To feel.
To undress what I already know — and remove layers of me
To give space to both suffering and joy.
To breathe.
To rewrite what I’ve studied through my own experience and understanding.
To give meaning to the meaningless.
To name the unnamable.
To connect with others.
