So here's my first post. I'm creating this blog on a whim. I've been wanting to do a sort of creative, "self portrait a day" style thing, but haven't ever worked up the umph to actually do it. It's that and I've always wanted to be able to be honest about myself: completely honest with anyone who asks me or wants to know. It's the people who have been completely honest with me about who they are and revealed themselves down to their dirtiest core being, disregarding their shame, that have taught me most about life and brought me the greatest understanding of mercy. I'd go as far as to say that if we really were honestly following the messiah, we would never hold back anything about who we are to others: we don't own our shame. It's not ours to withold: we have no right to be prideful and part of our mission is to display Christ. I think to do that we have to say who we are.
I think I'm getting ahead of myself.
This isn't a diary. It's not necessarily to document the events of my life, but to document an impression of where I've been and who I am. Not a history but hopefully a painting, an idea, a feeling, of me. It's to teach myself how to be honest and obseve who I am.
Curious...
ReplyDeleteWhat were you looking for when the found the Image that brought you to my Blog...
The Web is a fascinating place for random adventures.
You'd pass me on the street and never feel compelled or able to say something...
But the Web allows for disassociated associations to occur. A picture catches your imagination (as it did for me), it seemed to fit the mood of my thought, so you found the thought I had because I choose a picture you chose to find.
And will it end there, most likely, but likely is not written in stone. We choose when to do unlikely things. We choose when to be bold and leap or stay on the ledge afraid to fall, when we could fly.
Thanks for looking out the window and say'n hi.

I was looking for an image of a hand about to touch something, but hesitating. I searched for hours and never found anything good:) I'm pleased to have had a disassociated association with you.
