One Defunct Blog

It's become quite apparent of late that this so-called blog suffers from writer's neglect.

Thus far it seems that the greatest intentions have given way to the greatest delays. My sense of time is heightened only by the lack thereof - if that makes any sense whatsoever.

Past weeks have absolutely flown by - I didn't realize how quickly until someone recently said 'hey, you should update your blog!' It's nearly been TWO MONTHS since a entry free of overly creative writing. I better get on writing something...

We've not been up to nothing, that's certain:


Camping near Lake Tekapo


guitar solo


Fellow Travelers


Airborne


A Week Serving at a Nearby Camp and Our View


Family Brunch


Oh, right, work...


How awesome is that?

Another Journal Entry, 9 May 2008

Still standing
Today, a day of new beginnings
Tomorrow, a day of undiscovered potential
Yesterday, a day where I learned about tomorrow
And still I stand
Here go I wavering in the wind, listening for a voice in the whispers
Clear and true ring the words once heard
Phrases of wisdom pulling towards a chasm of unknown
Shall I trust?
I cannot say as the wind buffets against my will
I know I cannot stay where I stand
Perhaps that next step will find my answer
A hastened glance over the edge straining for a glimpse of the beyond
Yet I cannot force the new perspective into that chasm of the unknown
I find that each step appears to give a slight increase of light
Each step gathers with it a slight decrease in the depth of that chasm ahead
It is as if the simple desire of moving toward the unknown brings revelation
