“Come talk to me”

- (click play to hear music)

” I can imagine the moment
Breaking out through the silence
All the things that we both might say
And the heart it will not be denied
‘Til we’re both on the same damn side
All the barriers blown away”

Peter Gabriel

Thanks for clicking this page. You see, I have a very important message for YOU, yes - YOU. I believe that humans are truly social beings. For the longest time, I didn’t understand what was new about these “blogs”. I thought- “Aren’t they just a new term for ‘webpages’ “? (Forgive me, I was born in ‘75 which makes me an old timer on the internet). But I’ve come to understand that these blogs truly provide a means to engage with each other in conversation. I’ve been keeping a digital diary since 1991. (16 years, this Jan 2008) I can honestly say that I’ve learned a lot from this exercise of documenting my thoughts.

What could one learn, you ask?

Perhaps one of the greatest skills: the ability and habit to reason with oneself.

To make a habit of rational consultation.

To grow in awareness the limits of one’s own abilities and knowledge.

Put plainly: to think objectively. If any of this has struck a chord with you or resonated in any way, I can assure you that there is much more to come.
