I've started this before, but here goes it again.

This whole blog thing. I'm not really sure. I don't know how people keep up with it. I've tried a few times before, and I'm not sure why I keep coming back to it. I like the idea of expressing myself, but I am not gifted with poetic verse, or witty prose or at least not that I can tell. I do however have my own desires for connections and self-expression, and as far as I can tell that is really what this whole blog thing is about. So, I am just open to seeing where this goes.

In a lot of ways I feel like I am at the beginnings of many discoveries in my life, and yet everything seems on the verge of ending. All I can do is keeping moving forward in my own vision for my life despite the way the world seems to be spinning madly out of control. I am determined to find beauty in this life and soak up the joys, which are so often found in the small things. I think this is a growing desire among people in general. It seems people are realizing that this life is worth living and it is not some dress rehearsal. It seems to me people are longing for connections. Connection with their own creative spirit, the earth and other people. At the same time this is harder now more than ever.

Here is to hoping we all wake up. Here is to dancing under the moon (something I simply just don't do enough), here is to riding a horse bare back, here is to stopping when you hear a fox cry outside and just listening, or to cuddling up with a loved one (animal or human) and syncing yourself to their rhythm. Here is to discovering your creative muse. Here is to the start of a new blog. Here is to life. May we live it.

What makes you feel free?
What makes you smile, like truly smile down in your gut, so happy you might jump up and down and clap your hands before you realize people are watching you?

Do whatever those things are more. I'll join you.
