A new breath

In the recent past, circumstances have forced me to become aware of things about myself that I very much need to change.  I am now trying to make those changes.  But since I still find it helpful to write out my thoughts, I have started this new blog.  As the title suggests, it is a new breath.  I am not erasing the past, but moving forward.  To facilitate my own new perspective, I wanted a new image.

In this blog, I will hopefully continue my honesty, but perhaps on an even deeper level.  I have learned there is a fine line between contemplation in the true sense and mere brooding.  There is also a distinction between Contemplation as a spiritual discipline, and the other two.

So this blog will hopefully focus on the big C Contemplation.  I will also challenge myself to be truly brutally honest, but not brooding.

As part of my changes, I am greatly reducing my social media presence, which was never much to begin with.  So essentially it will now be ghostly.  That means the few people who did read this will have less opportunity to find it.  But that's ok.

I am only putting it on the internet at all so that it will be available for anyone who might stumble or be led across it.  May it serve as a cairn on the trail to let you know others have walked this way before.
