for whom the blog tolls
I have been enjoying writing the blog. I relaxed all rules. I let go of grammar and punctuation, of caring what people might think, of believing that I needed to post on any consistent topic or theme, or that what I had to say had to be in any way good or important, or that I had to post only once a day. And so I have just been enjoying myself.
I gave up being concerned that what I felt like writing about was pedestrian, quotidian, that it seemed so self-centered or insular.
Pain locks you in a small room.
The blog is like getting out.
The blog is also like entering a fresh space and not having to do any housekeeping there.
The blank page is an empty uncluttered room.
The blog leaves the body behind.
I figured out who the blog is really for~
It’s for me, January 2012. I want to be around to look back and see what I was doing, to see that I survived, to know perhaps there was progress.
And then to look forward again.
