Intro
“When a stream or a bubbling spring flows out from the mountains, it is doing its thing. And if a thirsty traveller helps himself, well that’s fine. When a bird sings, it doesn’t sing for the advancement of music, but if somebody stops to listen and is delighted, that’s fine. And so, I talk in the same spirit.” Alan Watts
What is This?
I personally have had a great many thoughts and musings on life, and the current political structure. I write this not as some grand effort to try and become a journalist, but merely to share what it is I think. My thoughts are ever evolving, it is possible I will post something on here that I will later disagree with. I am ever learning, and growing, but I’d like to spend my time actually putting something out into the world, even if it doesn’t quite make any traction.
So, to begin with I will answer the questions recommended to me by wordpress
- Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
Ideally I want to engage with people and to learn and understand things, hopefully people will read what I have to say and enjoy it. If I say something horribly ignorant, or factually incorrect then I wish to learn why I am incorrect, or what exactly I am ignorant of. - What topics do you think you’ll write about?
I don’t have anything specific I imagine I’ll be writing about, this is basically meditations, anything that interests me is something that I will write about. - Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
I’d like to connect to smart people who are interested in learning new perspectives. - If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?
I don’t really have a vision for what this would be if I successfully blog for a year, I can give pie in the sky goals of going professional, but I have no desire to write professionally this is a hobby, a passion project. Something I’d like to do in my spare time, so ideally people read this and like what I’ve written. ummm maybe something on patreon? I got nothing, I hope you all enjoy.
