I miss writing. Over the last year the time and creative energy I used to funnel into this place I call my online home was sapped, squeezed, redirected... I miss you blog. I'm sorry I have abandoned you.
I thought seriously recently about shutting it down. I'm a changeable person and frequently move from one thing to the next when something loses it's sparkle... it's allure... but I can't bring myself to do it. A recent commenter found an old post about an Imogen Heap gig Steve and I took in a few years ago. As I scanned back through what I had written I realised that I've lost something I want to retrieve. I used to look at the world through a different lens. It wasn't a wiser or necessarily more creative perspective... but it was more reflective and in the reflection more appreciative. I liked that.
So... I'm making a start. I'm clearing my blog debt (yes it would be amazing to talk about my incredible time in South Africa but you can read about it here), I'm wiping the slate clean, starting/re-starting from today. No more crippling mental pressure to cover all the potential topics I've breezed passed in the last few months. A new day, a new assault on my keyboard, a new journey of the mind... xc
