There is something about perspective. And I think can get trapped by a linear, time based sense to things as if must progress in some methodical fashion, when can be about those moments that can capture you, as a better constant. So like on a blog you get this feel that things must go with a certain urgency which am thankful to have let go. Yes there is a plan with a time-based sense to it, for developing this blog. But no, the blog should not have again that pressure of a necessity of a post needing to be put out there, to keep things going.
On Friday give myself more freedom to just talk. And conceivably down the line will be time for others to put things out there, even vent about the blog or its contents, if I figure out how to get to that in a way that works. But meanwhile the blog is active. Very active.
If activity for a blog of this type is in posts per months or year it can seem one way, but if the perspective is of blog posts that capture in some way some moment, then they can be what someone wants whenever.
Is that way for me.
That sense that a linear thing means progress is something I don't share. Life is a constant until it's gone, filled with seemingly endless moments that grab us, and can create memories that hold us through a lifetime. The progression aspect of life is important but more mundane--we are born, grow up if we do, reach maturity if we do, then age, if we last long enough, and find some end.
For something that can be put in a single sentence, even poetically, I think the reality of a vibrant and wonder that can be a complete life is so much more. A philosophy feel like sharing in a moment that grabbed me and moved me to write a bit, on a day when feel more free here to discuss--whatever.
Does help me relax too. And the blog IS actually still quite active in terms of interest as reflected in various ways I have to measure. I think that's good. Posts already written reflect certain points of views that are not about when that post was made necessarily but about me trying to reach for something deeper. Trying to capture a moment worth sharing, indefinitely.
