Intentions...

Since publishing this blog - I have wrestled with determining what it is exactly I want to share. In my first blog,  I mentioned a desire to broadcast my soul and use the blog as a container of sorts...however, I'm beginning to have second thoughts.
I enjoy attention, a lot. I gain pleasure through recognition, and have for a great portion of my life. Though I am not alone in this fundamental need, I am learning sluggishly to satisfy my need through self-acknowledgment - a heightened awareness of my inner workings, rather than through outward attention.
That being said, I feel the need to back peddle a bit from the goals professed earlier concerning my blog, as writing a blog expressing my inner realities seemingly violates any attempts to sustain recognition individually.
Alternatively, I intend to save my soul-bearing for the mead book, and instead use this blog to discuss relevant social topics and create space for others to question, assent, mock, or implode at my convictions.
By expressing my convictions, I will inevitably divulge aspects of my individual experience for clarity, though only as a means to provide rationale for the slants that I take.
For the "followers" disappointed by my altered trajectory, I hope opportunities arise for us to engage heart-to-heart in the future - without pixels and keys.
Lastly, I admit outright that I don't have all the answers - and hope not to present my convictions as such, but rather as loosely formulated ideas subject to change and rearrange. For as my mentor Hal Shrader says, "Since I have been wrong in the past and will be wrong in the future, the trick is recognizing that I am wrong now."
