It’s a rather broad generalization- what we say is who we are- but for me, it is very difficult to separate words from identity. My experience has taught me that who I am and what I believe is shaped by what I say. It is as if I have a vague inkling that something might be true and articulating it is the first step in bringing it to life. Leaving a thought to indefinitely ping pong around one’s mind blocks it from the light of scrutiny where it is chiseled and shaped into something able to be picked up and examined, dismissed or embraced.
My blog attempts to be a place where ideas can be brought to light, explored, tested, tried on for size and worn should they fit- comfortably or not. As the world of our ideas grows, we become, we evolve, we grow, we change.
What an interesting collection we are!
I hope you’ll have a look at what I have published and graze here and there to find something to stimulate your interest. Talk about it. Write about it. Put words around your thoughts to enhance and expand on who you are or who you are not.
As always, I invite you to leave a comment and share your own take on things. Likes and follows are always appreciated.
