Do we need anything more than the experience of life itself to feel compelled to share with others? I say no, we really don’t. The major influences that pop to mind to answer the question being asked here, is meditation. The practice of stillness and awareness of life itself. So many are caught up in the trappings of the Great Social Construct that few have the time to even realize their greatest gift of this lifetime. That being life itself.
To experience this life without judgments of it, just as practice at first.
