Artful Blogging....

A new concept that I have been introduced to. I feel so naive and freshman to it all. I am fascinated by the whole idea. Like a life journal slash diary, slash photography and art collection....Hhmmm I think I may have to explore this some more. I never even thought to take my life to that level out in the big world. Kind of makes me wonder why I Blog. Why do I blog? Do I want the world to know me, know what I think and believe? Maybe I want the world to respond to me. I don't think that's it though as I have never really hinged on the responses of those who read my words. maybe it's like painting. I know why I paint. I paint to breath. Like for some stepping out of a car and into the fresh air that surrounds you at a lake side or the intoxicating feelings of the salty air at the beach that brings us to near utopia. That's what painting is for me. Why do I write. It doesn't let me breath, it's not intoxicating or invigorating or even calming. What then? It's real. It feels like the moment when you have just poured out your heart to the right person and you know as the words drip off your tongue they will be met with the soothing relief of landing on just the right set of ears even if they may or may not be able to lift you up with any certain words but just landing on those safe ears, that's all that matters. That's what writing is like for me. That's why I blog. Oh I think this may grow in leaps and bounds...what doors can open....let me see, let me see!!!!!
