POUF

The more I focus on living in the immediate moment, the less I have to say in my writing.

When I have achieved real understanding and happiness, this blog will disappear like a dream vanishes the moment you wake up, leaving only a vague memory of its existence behind.

POUF!

Gone. Real Gone! Into the Blue!

I am not yet believer enough to think that we will communicate by vibration, but my disbeliefs seem to be going into remission. Still, I hope you'll keep up the blog(s) 'til we've sorted the bugs out of whatever system we'll use next.

I thank you both for the encouragement to continue. The blog IS a great communication tool, connecting people who would never have met otherwise.And if it connects people it justifies its own existence...

Yes, please don't go. You have no idea what a help you have been. I identify so much with your travails and you've been an inspiration. Besides, you are a great poet. Dahny

Wow, thank you. An inspiration? I suppose if one person is honest about themselves it allows other people to BE themselves without guilt. We realise we AREN'T the only person having this or that thought/ this or that problem after all.

I have no intention of stopping the blog just yet, though, to be clear. I'm not nearly happy enough to have reached the point where I have nothing left to say! And when I am happy enough, my take on how I'm going to feel at that moment may be entirely wrong and I may discover an avalanche of new words. I kind of hope I will because writing has been a constant for me for many years and it would be a shame to move beyond it completely.

Yes definitely go out and LIVE first Bruce. But then come back to your blog to tell us what you've learned. You have a great talent for putting thoughts into words. Don't stop.

My head is swelling with all this praise and encouragement. Thanks Leo.
