Initial thoughts

Getting started is always the hardest part. I've had friends suggest that I blog for several months now, but life got in the way.

I have my reasons for blogging. I want to keep friends up to date with the goings on of me and my family. I want to work out my thoughts in print (some thoughts of great importance and others that are valuable only for their silliness). I want to interact with fellow bloggers.

I don't know how often I'll write an entry - life rolls along at a pretty brisk clip - but I'm looking forward to this new experience.

Here goes!

Weela is a wonderful word

C. Bright said...

Sail fast, sail fast,
Ark of my hopes, Ark of my dreams;
Sweep lordly o'er the drowned Past,
Fly glittering through the sun's strange beams;
Sail fast, sail fast.
Breaths of new buds from off some drying lea
With news about the Future scent the sea:
My brain is beating like the heart of Haste:
I'll loose me a bird upon this Present waste;
Go, trembling song,
And stay not long; oh, stay not long:
Thou'rt only a gray and sober dove,
But thine eye is faith and thy wing is love.

Song of the Future
Sidney Lanier

Cool huh? I wish that those were my words, but if I couldn't come up with anything for this moment of momentous momentousness, at least you should have some of the immortal Lanier to inspire you. But, truly, don't underestimate this chance; gold plated poetry, stuff typed in notepad, scribbles on a napkin are all perhaps trembling songs.
