My first post.

I decided that I need a blog. I'm learning that when I don't put my life into words, a couple things happen. One, I just don't live it as deeply. There's a level of meaning that comes only through the retelling of things. And second, sooner or later I lose my life-thoughts altogether. They just don't sink in.
...I'm also learning that it's not just putting things into words, but it's using those words to connect to people. That's what this is about. So, here I am!
