I am not really clear on why I am doing this, except that I know it is for my own benefit. While I firmly believe that the world needs another blog about as much as it needs more rabid squirrels, I am almost perversely drawn to the idea of a blog.
I think I just need to get some thoughts down when they happen, and I know that I am a little too disconnected from people at the moment to have a human outlet. O, internet.
So here’s one: I miss being deeply connected to people. I used to be, and I don’t think I appreciated it enough. Now I am on the other side of the country, and it’s been one year. It is an amazing privilege to be allowed into the mess and gunk and unfinished loose ends that is someone else’s life. It’s an incredible thing to have another person willingly become vulnerable in your presence. It’s a sign of trust as well as an opportunity to become part of the fabric of something more significant than yourself.
It’s an honor, really. To be trusted like that. That ever happen to you?
