History of Writing

It was the beginning of the most important days in our history, truly THE history, the origination of light and dark and water and land and trees and birds and man or woman.

It was given to us by a smear, a dishonor, a way of separating one who wronged from those who would see this symbol and understand it what it meant, the consequences of a bad action.

This comprehension of a meaningful symbol lead to other symbols, and other methods of recording meanings, and making recorded history or business documents or transported correspondence or decrees of war or declarations of love.

Fastforward.

Eventually, it lead to my job as an editor and to my blog.

So I read ithe history of writing full circle: the murder, the mark, the symbols, then letters, then words, then languages, then a key to language translation, the advancement in various styles of writing, and the Bible as a record of events.

Fastforward.

Now I read the Bible, go to work, correct text in digital format for proper grammatical display on a monitor screen, print it to show my corrections with symbolic marks of red ink, come home and read the newspaper to unwind, and hopefully write the letters of my thoughts and emotions and dreams in this digital blog with hope or at the very least some relaxation.

All because God showed us a marked man, the murderer Cain, with his symbol for all to see, understand, recognize, and develop.

Writing is born of hindsight regret and condemnation for deeds that are unforgivable.
