I’ve been thinking about the future a lot lately. I am thinking about the future of my life, relationship, writing, gaming, etc. I am also giving a great deal of thought to the future of my blog. I want the blog to be more compartmentalized yet more about the general idea of writing (i.e. less about me blathering into the storm). I have swirled around this idea for years–even focusing Wednesdays on a sports theme. I feel like as I have de-compartmentalized my life in many ways, the blog has done the same. Perhaps the blog is the place for that separation. Perhaps doing that provides the basis for less of that in my physical life.
Part of the idea come from the thought of being 100% present. I feel like I fail to be present in many things. I tend to have so much going on that presence is only ever going to be limited. So, the larger conversation is about learning how to be present. I feel as though the blog may help with that.
Some Thoughts:
- I was reading old posts and it got me thinking about the numbering system. In 24 days I’ll be done with (3). I don’t know if Always Forward means I go to 4 or just go forward by adding up the total number of posts and beginning with whatever number that is. I feel there is a more philosophical significance in there than I lend credence to on the surface.
