A lot can happen in 2 1/2 years.

That was the last time I posted on this blog, and since then so much has changed in my life.  Coming back to this blog might be symbolic…like going home.

Since I last wrote here, almost every aspect of my life has changed and yet at the core - what I believe, my values, how I choose to live my life, those things haven’t changed.  In fact I’m almost more certain, more sure, more resolved.

Writing has been a seasonal thing for me.  Sometimes the words can flow out and suddenly appear on the page as if something overtook me and this piece of art has been formed, other times it’s such an intangible event that is processed and over processed in my head that the words never form anything for the eye to read.  But in my heart, there are always words, there are always thoughts, and patterns, and connectedness.

A year ago I told a dear friend that one day I will write a book.  At this rate there are great intentions but that may never actually be reality, but there is this story of me… the story of what God has always been doing in my life and through my life.  And there’s this deep longing inside me to know and ultimately to be known.  So maybe the start of that venture - that long venture, is upon me.

So I will share, and I will dream, and in the midst of it all, realism will clash with idealism and hope with reality and  I will still open my mouth and utter worthy words - the words upon my heart, the words that have molded me, created me.

…and I will be your mouthpiece…
