Need I Three?

Today I realized I have three blogs— that seems like overkill.  Especially since I've been in a relatively dry season as far as my writing goes.  I might be crawling out of that, which is a blessing since I've volunteered to be the blogger for an upcoming trip.  The beauty of my professional work is that I do all my paperwork by hand, so that when I hit the computer, my fingers are delighted to type away my thoughts.  I just need to get more thoughts worth having.  (I'm sure you know how that is— when you can think clearly, you just don't always like the things you're thinking, so they aren't worth the effort, and certainly not worth the effort to write them down.  But then when the clouds clear, when you see how much bigger life is than you yourself, and start to think in another voice besides the first person. The me thoughts turn to we thoughts...)

All we do each day affects a multitude of other people.  Rather than that pressuring us, it becomes a true honor to step into.  Can't step into it lightly, but when stepped into with a yielding heart & prayerful spirit, it is deeply important yet still feels light on our shoulders. 

I feel the hints of these things.  These thoughts come scrambled back into my mind, the meaningful ones I don't entirely block but still refuse to fully process some days (or ninety five percent of the days this past year).  Well I'm stepping back into my full reflective mode.  I've missed it.  And channeled and fueled the right way, I think it can be a fruitful use my time— hopefully a fruitful use of others' time once I hammer down what I'll write about to share.  Until then, each bit of writing and reflecting at least is keeping in shape...
