detour

i am not sure where i am at about things electronic.  having just this week learned about a company that espouses the benefits of clinical and coaching relationships that are primarily conducted online, i am in the midst of trying to gain an understanding of what it is that is ultimately beneficial about both the healing and connectedness that comes from interacting with people via an electronic mechanism, and the additional reality that such connectedness can involve exposing portions of one’s self to the greater world…include those folks with whom you wouldn’t mind touching and those folks who have their own intentions and even nefarious plans.  while i find some comfort in having a goal in life of being anonymous, i know in some portions of my heart of hearts that the prospects of exposure have an appeal.  i am not sure the degree to which i ought pursue that appeal.  ultimately, i want most to connect most with my wife, and then my son and daughter and daughter.  next a close friend, who would understand my quirks and listen and allow me to understand their quirks and allow me to listen, would be a blessing.  as for composing all this while looking at a screen, reading and painting and music and laughing and taking pictures and ponder and praying…those are meaningful.

i won’t be adding to this site for a while…7/27 to be exact.
