hmm .. blog .. slog .. glog .. hey, that's a good drink!


Who knows why I have decided to attempt to create a blog. I used to have a blog on another -- more public -- site, but I felt it was a little too risky. It's really easy to accidentally reveal more about yourself than you intended or desired.

I guess I am just a little frustrated tonight. A little Dickinsonian moment ...

The soul selects her own society,
Then shuts the door;
On her divine majority
Obtrude no more.

Unmoved, she notes the chariot's pausing
At her low gate;
Unmoved, an emperor is kneeling
Upon her mat.

I've known her from an ample nation
Choose one;
Then close the valves of her attention
Like stone.


My soul does the same. I have never been the outgoing person with 10 million friends, or even 10 really. True friends, and ones I am willing to spend my time with, number under 5. It doesn't matter who it is, I want more from a friendship than casual chatting or venting. I want to know that person, to delve into their very soul and know them as well as they wish to know me. To find a resonance between our existences.

Ah Emily. If only you were not fragmented into the atoms of the world, maybe we would be friends.

Now I have to consider if I want this to truly be a blog. I guess the concept of a blog is to have people respond -- hence why its not a diary. We'll see if this mode works for me.

Sounds at though you have much to share and the gift of word manipulation to allow us to hear beyond them.

I wonder sometimes what went through the minds of someone like Shakespeare or Emily Dickinson as they put down their very first words of self-expression. We can only guess what would have happened it they had chosen never to write again.
