Raise a glass to new beginnings

Wednesday, April 12, 2006
I imagine my old blog to be the little house next to the skyscraper I have seen in a photograph somewhere. All around me rise the carefully constructed structures of glass and steel- those blogs of purpose and intensity. Those that have something they feel they need to communicate to the world by their very existence. Though I may have at times, I no longer want to be one of those.

When I started this little thing, I was among a collection of friends' blogs and we kept connected through them as our schedules permit little more. As time has gone by their blogs have been dismantled for varied reasons and I find myself standing here like some over-proud monument, resisting the inevitible fall simply for the sake of such resistance. Many of my friends gather elsewhere (mostly myspace for good or ill) and it is for my connection to them that I had this thing in the first place...

So now I aim to set off on a journey and I hope you will join me for a step or two.

I don't know where I am going, for I have no map, but I am sure I will get there about 3 and a half minutes later than expected.

Peace be to you.
