“If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up people to collect wood and don’t assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.”
–Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Lately I have been deliberating with myself about how best to use this space. Oh I love having the quote at the top of almost every entry and my latest art at the bottom. It’s this chewy gooey centre of which I am unsure. Of late I’ve been using the quotes as a springboard to talk about whatever comes to mind. About the only condition I give myself is that I write at least 100 words and hopefully not write anything that others will find too boring. If I have any new poetry to share that gets thrown in as well. I’ve heard few complaints and occasionally I get a thoughtful comment for which I feel much appreciation.
I’ve been thinking I might throw in some stories of my past. Either my days hitchhiking or various spiritual practices and groups I’ve found myself a part of at various times in my life. I believe the statue of limitations have run out on most of the stories so that I can share them with impunity. I do worry about boring any potential audience I may have tho.
Another possibility would be to share some tarot card meanings or poetry. I’ve done that before and people seem to enjoy it. I figure I could mix it up a bit, Occasionally feature an astrological aspect, an i ching hexagram, a sephiroth, a deity, basically one of the many spiritual symbols that we’ve come up with throughout time that seem to have resonances or echoes in many cultures.
Possibilites, I see the ocean and long for it. Let’s see what kind of boat we can build. Namaste, G
