I have been a pretty irregular (I would call it “spastic“, but that’s THAT voice in my head….) at posting anything I write. There are any number of reasons/excuses I can give myself:

• I’m busy doing other stuff
• There is SUCH an overwhelming amount of content out there that I felt that I’d just be adding to the noise.
• I get so many things going in my mind that I COULD write about that I despair about writing about any of them….or, again, so I tell myself.

Anyway, I just finished the book “Life After Doom” by Brian McLaren. It is a sobering work, but one at the end of which I began to question all my reasons/excuses for NOT adding my unique, authentic voice (see how I worked the name of this blog into that!) to the community of voices of which I know I am a part. It’s true that no one, or very few, may read my posts, but that’s OK. I will be arriving at the venerable age of 70 in a couple of months (Wow…..how did THAT sneak up on me?) and, aside from the humorous retort of “Quiet folks, an old man is talking/writing…”, I know that each of us travels along each moment experiencing life differently, and I feel I can expose what I have encountered and whatever kind of interpretation, if any, I have that anyone else may have encountered.

My posts may be a bit shorter or longer, depending on how far into story-telling mode I get, but if you find any of this edifying, silly, bone-headed, or any other quality of interest for you, I invite you to keep an eye for slightly-less-than-random posts going forward.

Enjoy your moment of life, my friends.
