This beginning of this blog comes at a decidedly transitional time in my life. I am in the process, of shaking off the old in an effort to live more fully & freely. I can see that I am becoming the person I wish to be, though there is a feeling of being somewhat mired in that which lies behind me.
While I recognise this a being a crucial piece of my awakening, it is vaguely uncomfortable as I am decidedly introspective these days. I don't wish to trivialise or minimise the practice of self reflexive thought, though it is keeping me from viewing the world around me from the wide angle lens posessed by those writers, singers & activists I most treasure. I feel disconnected from the messages that so inspire me.
Even as the pressure of this seeming disconnect weighs upon me, I know that I am finding me feet. This is why I must turn inwards: to ensure that my feet are grounded, my thoughts organised, my voice clear. For this reason, I am looking forward to having electronic document of my thoughts: to see the progress that is occurring within myself in retrospect.
Please forgive me any growing pains that come alongside of this process. I choose to exercise my vocal chords, even if the pitch is imperfect, for I am choosing to follow the words of my favourite musician, Matthew Good: this blog will be my "Lullaby For The New World Order"
