it has been some time since this little blog has found voice, and much internal dialogue about the reasons behind it and if it should remain open or be shuttered and forgotten.
is it processing the spiritual journey of a life (or parts of it, anyway)? in part.
opening conversation on some random thoughts and musings? sure.
some secret hope to be “discovered” and actually become a writer (and not a writer wannabe)? I’d lie if I said no.
a somewhat public journal, sanitized enough to not be embarrassing for anyone, including me? kind of. but that feels rather narcissistic. and much more extroverted than I am!
