The Minutes by Jasmine Park

"We are important and our lives are important, magnificent really, and their details are worthy to be recorded.
This is how writers must think, this is how we must sit down with pen in hand. We were here;
we are human beings; this is how we lived. Let it be known, the earth passed before us.
Our details are important. Otherwise, if they are not, we can drop a bomb and it doesn't matter."

Natalie Goldberg in Writing Down the Bones
