Writing the Journey of Later Decades
Ninangj journals her past journey and into the later decades of her life. The blogs are an amalgamation of past and present experiences that can only persist in writing. A deep belief in writing as a calling, assigning this vocation with purpose and intention, resonates through the entries.
There is an inherent neutrality to this gift of words; writing is a way to either curse or bless. Ninangj believes that skills and talents hold little significance if they languish beyond the grasp of an audience. Writing is a movement toward an other, to inspire, influence, and propel that other into action.
Most of writing is remembering so it is a generous gift to oneself. Ninangj contemplates the instances of recollections, how a past becomes a present, how an absence becomes an image. Since writing is fueled by language and desire, she explores the impact of wrapping memories in words.
