I find that returning to visit this site every few months is like my own little pilgrimage. This is especially true as I get older and find myself moving away from the younger man who first signed on here almost 12 years ago. I look back on my earliest postings and see myself as a fol. I see myself as someone else, but I wrote all those words. It is quite a beautiful thing to be able to log into a website and have a tangible record of my creative expressions going back to 2001. It almost seems surreal. Here I am now, there I was and there is a continuity that brings it forth. I remember I wrote a similar message like this on my 5th anniversary. Time is peculiar. It is rapid and slow almost at the same time. We live our lives, in our many moments, and suddenly we look back from a great distance (relatively) and see how far we have come.
I enjoy the process of getting it out. It is a treat to just be able to do this. I reflect on myself within a space of over a decade, and I reflect on the friends I have made, and all that. It truly is a pilgrimage t come here. This site is a little world I can return to again and again, and feel at home.
A decade seems like such a long time, doesn't it? Yet within that decade so much happens.
