I. Introduction

• Randomness and essays may evoke instinctual feelings of fear.
• Fear of randomness can stymie growth by locking the spirit into routine; fear of essays robs the spirit of the human gift of self-expression through the manipulation of symbols.
• Participation in the Random Walk Essay Contest is a safe, gentle way to empower the spirit through regression.
• Learn to reclaim the beauty of chaos and the joy inherent in writing.
• Any true wizard knows that spells and potions are only as powerful as the spirit that wields them.
