Its nearly the end of the January- the end of the the first month of the new year.
I hope that you’re finding the year to be promising in whatever way and shape your life has taken.
I’m doing fine thanks for asking. I’ve found a path into the workings of this big story that I’ve been messing with all last year. Suddenly I can see the whole thing laid out before me and its brilliant. The writing is going well!
Its a courageous time for all of us, isn’t it. It feels that way anyway. It feels like we’re all reaching from the depth of our hearts to move through each day cleanly , honestly, with tremendous love and humility and integrity.
Everyone I see shares this same look about them. There’s a pattern in the way we’re communicating, we’re being so much more kinder and gentler with each other and with ourselves. Its as if we’re constantly aware that we’re stepping into new territory and so we need each other more than ever. Here in Ireland the weather is doing great things for our community spirit. The cold is unusual and everyone shares the surprises and the cautionary tales. We’re looking out for each , more than we have been. Its comforting.
There’s a part of me thats grappling with what purpose this blog serves. I can honestly say that I know of only one person that reads this ( thanks Toni ! ) Its enough .
There is a saying here that I’ve only heard in Ireland - “Its a waste of space’.
I had a lover, for a very short time, who used that phrase to describe himself - “I’m a waste of space”.
It was such a harsh sentence to hear, I had to quit him.
But the line popped up in my head while thinking about what purpose this blog serves.
Is it a proverbial -”waste of space”. Or does that come into play as space is infinite by its nature. There is no waste.
What really matters is what do I get out of writing this blog?
You know what its like for me?- Its like talking to an invisible spectator. . Like the theatrical term “an aside”. Someone over my shoulder.
I’ve been considering the possibility that there might be more to this effort and seeking the help of a professional blogger. Sounds funny somehow. But seriously , you can do that, if you had a product and gosh it makes perfect sense. But there in lies the rub- whats my product? whats my by-line? Is it simply to allow self expression without hangups? Can you justify writing for the cyber world for the sake of writing? Ach… I dunno what I’m on about.
Its 7:39 am. Time to wake up.
A week ago we were covered in snow.
The sun shone bright and dramatic
Hope all is well in your home and yer heart.
Thanks of clinking in.
Take it handy,
always
