It's Been Awhile

So..it's been awhile since I last posted and I admit that one was kinda lame. There's a motive to my tardiness that I realize comes from knowing that people in my life read this thing. Sometimes I wish I had made this blog anonymous so I could pour out any and all whirling thoughts and feelings welling up inside, but I didn't. I have wanted this to be a place of openness and depth, and at times that has been the case. But mostly not, and so the quizzes and photos and fluff stuff. I long to be able to write what's in my heart, but that would mean really being real and I guess to be honest, I'm not 100% ready for that. I wanted to tell stories here that might open dialog with those who have no place for openness in their own lives. And that still appeals to me. It's just that I actually see some of you people. Some of you live with me (MAX!). Anyway, maybe one day I will be able to go deeper. For now, you get this... (click to enlarge)

Why don't you create a seperate blog that you don't tell anyone about? But, you could invite me!!

(Only if you wanted to...)

What a pretty dragonfly. I dream about them sometimes.

You know, I have often thought the same thing (about anonymity).

But I've also learned that the process of figuring out how to say things you want to say to a group of people who know you is a very helpful one. It gives you time to write in a less reactive way, and to give teeth to thoughts that really need teeth, and mitigate thoughts that need to be monitored. I've seen blogs where people just rant whatever they are feeling at the moment, and they lack a lot of the mature reflection that blogs like yours (and most others in our sphere) have.

Still, I'd LOVE to know what you're REALLY thinkin' ;-) Unless it's "I have decided to write a book entitled 'How to Dissect a Human Frog'" - then I am NOT interested.

Amazing photograph.. that dragonfly has real personality! As do you...
My blog started out anonymous but I eventually told most people about it so now I'm not so free to put up the totally raw poetry... in some ways it has been a gentle way to allow people in to who I really am.

I agree with everyone who has commented here today....you might start to reveal little by little, and see what happens you might be happily surprised?
