Today is the second anniversary of starting this blog. So
what was it for, what has it achieved, and who was I talking to these past
seven hundred and thirty days?
Well, its purpose changed over that period, and so did the
group of people who occasionally shared my bit of cyberspace – and some of
them, I have to say, were and still are quite fascinating. As for what it achieved,
I suppose that was the really interesting bit.
It brought in its wake a surprising number of thrills and
spills, and they in their turn engendered a surprising amount of turbulence. It
established (or maybe re-established) connections with a few very special
people. But what it mostly did, and will continue to do, I assume, is hold up a
mirror and encourage the question ‘What do you see?’ And what I saw was what I’ve
been coming to suspect for many years: that I, along with everybody else,
consist of nothing more than levels of illusion, at the core of which is the
only thing of true substance: my soul (for want of a better word) which isn’t
even mine, or God’s, or anybody else’s. It’s just a part of some continuum and
can’t even be called a fragment, any more than there is any such thing as a
moment in time or a point in space. And yet I accept and live with the illusions
because they're what the continuum exists to provide. I feel therefore I am, but
only up to a point. (A point in what? Quite.)
And so, to honour what the illusion likes to perceive as a
milestone, I plan to link to my three favourite posts later. I know what two of
them are, the third is yet tbd.
Happy Birthday blog.
