It’s been far too long since I’ve written here. Which is a shame really, because there is so much to be said and so much to be recorded at any given point. Let’s not kid ourselves though, as this blog at best is only semi-autobiographical. Which is to say, I only use my life as a jumping off point to go into all those things that might strike my interest for any fleeting moment. Which is the heart of any typical blogger but my process is my own and it’s something worth putting words to.
I have this tendency to be overly protective of the details of my life. In my experience it is one of the best ways to keep it sacred. There are reasons why celebrities enjoy their privacy. By no means am I celebrity and I would never aspire for that status.
All of this is to say, that while writing is an important discipline in my life, making it public is still somewhat of a scary thing. Which isn’t to say that I fear you; I don’t, because I don’t fear much in life. It’s scary because I have to determine what might be most useful to voice. I could assume that it is all useful and that I have the freedom to voice whatever I want whenever I wish; but I wouldn’t dare be one of those obnoxious protestors on a megaphone. I choose carefully when I am to speak because I believe there is wisdom in that. It’s an ethic I hold daily and it’s something that caries over to what I may write on the internet.
When I do choose to write it’s as I’ve said “semi-autobiographical”; but in order for it to reach that point a certain amount of living needs to take place; the best writers I believe speak from experience. I could take the time to blog about so many things but in my mind it seems, as of right now, premature. So, I’m spending my time doing research. Living and observing the experience and years from now you’ll see the results in a way dramatic.
I could be taking this all too seriously, it is afterall just a blog. However though, I’ve recently read about the power of words and how words speak reality into existence; this is something I’ve always believed to be true and so I’m careful. The last thing I’d ever want to be is careless
