By month’s end I’ll have been the keeper of this blog for two years. Average “daily visits” (readers’ clicks) from have gone from 18 to 69 to 126 for a total of 51,826 as of this morning. It’s been a labour of service to publicly enter the many dharma gates that present themselves — especially when I was unsure of where they’d lead. Some mornings I have no conscious clue as to what to write. I sit quietly for a while, then let the words flow from my fingertips. It often takes me an hour of tinkering to compose 250 words; other times thoughts fall into place much more quickly. I usually go back two or three times during the day to re-read and re-write. Someone said that the writer is also the first reader. Thus I learn things I didn’t realize when I first put thoughts into words.
I typically connect my writing to that of another author (see bibliography tab above). This is an attempt to place my ramblings in a larger context, to see how they hold up against another’s insights, how my experience relates to the universal experience of living consciously. And that, ultimately, is what this blogging is about: to connect with readers, to share bits of my world with the intention to inspire, challenge, inform, and amuse. I delight in 
your return comments and look forward to more.
I’m grateful to you all for keeping me from becoming complacent … for encouraging me to expose and articulate what it means to walk on the path of awakening.
