Why I Blog


A changing world pulls me toward new understandings of life. Of people. Of concepts. Of intersections that expand meaning and understanding. A cycle of thoughts, happenings and relationships. All bumping into one another. Exciting and creative, this. Also, chaotic and bewildering.


Not alone am I. Nor you.


We are in this together. The more I learn the more I realize our interdependence. Each of us is an island but more moments; the rest of the time we spend interacting with each other or the affects and effects of each person’s being. You cause things to happen. The other fellow as well. And I do my part of adding to the stew.


How all of this glumps together to produce discernable order is a beautiful puzzle to ponder and put in order.


That’s the blog. Attempts at ordering. Chaos to meaning. Discerning meaning. Short term or long term meaning is an enigma always in solution stages. So the blog cannot come to a conclusion; it alights on one stem, petal or leaf at a time in the garden of delights. Like a bee nosing through the blooms of a massive garden, I swoop in and out of short visits. The brain finds order in this. Like nature, the larger function is served and the results learned later.


What blossoms will appear next season? What cross-pollenization will take root? Will this hybrid work wonder or disaster for the rest of the garden? How do we make the most of the one while guarding against the other in our actions of today? How long must we wait to learn which worked?


Social organization and governance are like a garden. Not all organized. Not all known. Agents of change constantly buzzing about and causing something to happen, just not readily apparent.


That concept alone is worthy of a blog. Ponder it well.
