This blog is a weird thing. My thoughts and words tend to naturally adapt themselves to fit into the context of individual friendships that this blogging thing has become little lesson for me in finding a different kind of general voice within me. Or maybe it's just a voice that doesn't really care what it sounds like, how it is received. Communication simply for the purpose of self-clarification and expression. I like that.
Still it's a little difficult. It's the same reason I'm not a fan of the mass email or the "reply all" button. I tend to show different parts of myself to different people in my life because I know what's safe to show to who (whom?). It's easy that way. And in some ways I think it's good to vibe with people on different wavelengths. But the concept of vulnerability as a way of connection and growth seems to be popping up quite a bit. I guess it's time to get vulnerable. (btw, there's a great story about St. Francis getting bare-ass necked in front of the bishop in a definitive step of conversion).
So allow me to get on my soap-box and speak across this digital divide! Look at it not so much as an unsolicited mass email, but as a chance to peek into my head and heart and see through my eyes while I'm overseas, if/whenever you may choose.
