I am entering unchartered waters.
This is an exciting prospect. I get an extraordinary sensation when travelling a new path, in fact I would prefer to be perpetually in these waters. But that would be neurotic and I am attempting some sort of balance - perhaps a topic for later.
Here I find myself after following a series of universe signals. These have been 'happening' for a while now. I always fobbed them off, rationalising that in everything there is a pattern when you choose to look for one. Then I thought...what if I take the plunge and actually go where the signals take me. That would be exciting, that would be an adventure! There could be a message in this or something I have to learn. Or perhaps (cut out my blasphemous tongue) I am doing this simply because I can.
I feel on the cusp of change and bring it on (I am a cusp baby after all)!
The signals are of course completely random and probably mean nothing to anyone but me. They include discovering guilty pleasure from "Sex in the City" a show I have never watched (I have lived under a rock so many tell me), a random conversation with my friend Marilyn about 2010 and change, and watching "Julia and Julia" and subsequently discovering that you can blog for free! There were some other 'signalettes' all equally random, all pointing - should I care to notice - in the same direction.
I spent some time researching this phenomena and learned that there are people who can write beautiful words, cutting jibes, hilarious accounts and sad musings. And they are all out there, sharing for their own reasons. For a while I felt quite overwhelmed. It is natural of course when you take on a new challenge that you will compare your own prodings with the prowess of others. This is after all human nature. However being grossly incompetent at something has never stopped me before. I press on.
Put simply I write to see where it will take me, and fortunately for me not for the acclaim. Goodness that would be funny!
It would be unfair of me to not give you some taste of areas for my explorations. There will be no new ground covered or attempts to better mankind, the questions I pose have been answered before and by far greater minds than my grey sponge. It is new for me however, and while the route I take is a well trodden path, I see it for the first time.
I believe we have a start at least.
On the topic of starts, Happy New Year to all. May it be the start of something new for you!
