I had taken a hiatus from my original blog because - well, because of life, really; and because I have never had the discipline to force myself to write on a regular basis to keep the blog fresh. Writing, like any other creative endeavor, is work for me, and requires a great deal of time and effort, and an environment conducive to thinking. My current job affords me the opportunity to put aside a little time in an appropriate environment; now, I am applying some effort, and hopefully I will be able to communicate a few of my thoughts.
There is an urgency to my need to write. I have always been unnaturally aware of my own mortality - unnaturally, I say, because I was one of those odd children who thought about death far too often for a healthy mind. With each year that passes I feel an increase in the pressure to write before I lose the ability to do so.
Thus, virtual pen to virtual paper... and off we go.
