Mixed Reaction

So some people rave about my blog and others tell me it's too "dark" or too "personal".

The whole point is to think about it. So from that perspective I am reaching my goal. From what I have observed, people tend to pull away from anything that brings a bit too much reality into their sphere of pleasant and superficial comfort. Oh well.

Interestingly, this blog has made me think about what we write and how we write it. It's analogous to creating a meal that needs just the right seasoning... too little would be bland and too much would distort the experience. But the act of creation is the key. It must be heartfelt.

I am also reminded about how free it feels to write this blog. In the workplace, I am plagued by never ending reviews of my writing style and content. Every word is picked at. Here, as it should be, no one can veto my sentiments and the way I express them.

What does all this have to do with healing? You can bet it has EVERYTHING to do with it. So whatever helps you to think - do it. Or you can stay in the "pleasant sphere" for a while longer...as for me, I'm movin' on. Got things to do and places to go :-)
