I believe that writing
1. heals, yourself first (then others).
2. builds: words, phrases, sentences, paragraphs, prose and poetry but moreover, it architects ideas, ideas upon which people can stand and speak and change the world.
3. reveals the wizard operating the wizard behind the curtain.
4. creates & preserves & even damages (be careful: it's powerful).
5. echoes (it's a kind of alchemy time travel too).

You got it all, except it also gives me a chance to pretentiously boast, "I'm a writer."
As I ask them if they want french fries with their order.
Hey, I didn't say I was a GOOD writer.
I'm with Nubian. #4 is on target. As they say, whoever "they" is, "The pen is mightier than the sword."
Very well said...think.stew writer dude.
I also believe it heals, to put your words on paper (um, computer)
and yes, words are powerful.
Dr. Maya Angelou also said (something to the effect of) words are powerful, be careful what you say, the words can get into your walls, into the crevices of your furniture.
