“I think;
Therefore, I am;
Therefore, I can change who I am,”
Argued the neurobiologist, Paul Grobstein.
I write;
Therefore, I know;
Therefore, I can change what we know.

Changing what I know
This poem has really made me think. The concept of "I write; therefore I know" is a statement that I have been pondering. In my case, I could just as easily say "I write; therefore I question", because writing to me is usually a search for answers.
In either case, the result is changing what I know.
