This blog is my journal – a personal journal and commentary
on today’s issues – as it states in the heading. It is my attempt to
muse about what is going on in the world around me. I state how the happenings
affect me. I am searching for understanding and truth. I hope this process has
helped readers understand issues in a different way and maybe ease them toward
a broader understanding of issues that matter to us all.
We are not the result of our own efforts entirely. Or the
product of our families, either! We are the result of many factors pushing and
pressing upon us. If we engage with them we tend to develop in one direction.
If we ignore them we will certainly manifest ourselves differently. And so many
variances in between that the outcome cannot be plotted or forecasted.
We are all different. I struggle to continually understand
that all the while I’m trying to understand a factoid of history, or the ‘why’
and ‘how’ and ‘what if’ of so many different things. I do not sit back and let
things happen. I engage them, even confront them. It is my nature to do so.
By sharing my experiences or at least my understanding of
the days of my life, I am forced to face reality transparently. With an
audience however small! It makes me think more clearly. It also bares my
whipsaw emotions and frustrations for all to see. The act of living openly
demands an honesty that I had not intended or expected. But it is good; all
good.
Thanks for following this journey. It has no end and an
indistinct beginning. The twists and turns add spice and hopefully some humor.
I shall continue the quest in the days and months ahead. Wondering, pondering
and poking the status quo – together we will explore and experience joy. Are
you up for another year of this?
