It's pretty easy to be spiritually inclined when the world doesn't press too much, particularly the whole joyfully detached summer. Perspective changes when the world becomes interesting, particularly my art and this guy I'm seeing.
In any event, it's becoming enjoyable have a real life in the real world: existential questions are fine playthings but poor bedfellows. Thoughts are neither experience nor reality. The world is simply nothingness in the form of existence, tethered to nonexistence by invisible threads. Or so it seems; we need to know why, and so tell ourselves stories. In silence, the connectedness of manifest and unmanifest is known. The way I experience things still feels abjectly ordinary, except when new. It sparkles in the sun, fades into the landscape of daily life.
A year ago (yesterday) I started this blog, and have grown personally by leaps and bounds in the interim. I've also enjoyed the narrations that many fellow bloggers have provided of their own journeys. Thank you. It seems like many years; may those to come be as full.
Time tumbles on.

And thank you. Its been a joy "getting to know you" on here and have much appreciated your thoughts and reflections. Here's to another year in the virtual realm as well as "real life in the real world."
"Existential questions are fine playthings but poor bedfellows. Thoughts are neither."
AMEN!
Over the past year you have been generous with so many. Your sensitive commentary and courageous inquiry has inspired meaningful dialogue. Warmth and authenticity come through in your writing.
Thank you friend. It has been a good year.
I'm glad your here for this tumbling ride, Julie. Very glad.
It sounds like you are enjoying your journey.

Thanks for your presence here- and here-and here, too.
It's all good!
Thank you, Julie. It's been a pleasure to read your blog. Although the distance and the difference in language is a bit of a barrier, it has nevertheless been an experience worth experiencing!
Maybe you're no longer that anonymous as you've made yourself?
Thanks, Trev!
Yuppers, Jon.
Joe (Akilesh), thank you!
