Greetings,
Over the years I've come to view life as a concept....
We wrap ourselves in a collection of short stories, then tie them together as a theme.
The tied together part becomes our identity,
and from whence we project ourselves outward to others.
A bit cryptic for an intro to be sure but this truly is how I've come to
accept what we're humanly involved in. My "angle" on this shared authorship
is what I bring to the table. A collection of short stories and the thoughts that
emerged from them.
For me, this forum could very-well be a god-send. I've been siting on a whole
slue of thoughts and experiences stretching back some 52 years, and have yet to
find an environment where I can air them freely. Admittedly I've been "looking for love
in all the wrong places". I've tried tackling these themes in political, religious, and
semi-spiritual forums but this is environment you have here will be a new one for me.
The category's available are wonderfully promising. But it's the tone of conversation
that I'm most attracted to! For those of us who have been writing for some time on the web
we can attest to how bluntly brutal the forum environments can become.
Don't get me wrong... I'm a big lover for straight-talk... but am a firm believer that
such conversation can be done with respect and shared insight! You've mastered
that spirit here.... Thank you! It's this spirit of shared explorative curiosity that
I'm looking forward to participating in and contributing to.
There is much afoot in this thing we call life.
To not explore it with great vigor would be a sad waste indeed...! :^)
