Joe Proctor is a faithful writer of daily journals, haiku (a traditional form of Japanese poetry), a former DJ and a grower of vegetables. He emphatically believes that writing is one of his best daily practices and he's accumulating quite a collection of words. Joe says, "Writing, perhaps, is the highest form of expression. The spoken word is important, but it comes and goes, and if it's not written down, no one remembers it later on. But writing can be permanent."
