Crane's Beach Estate, Ipswich MA May 30 2009
Remember this stuff? Sunshine? Yeah, I took this on that great hike at the end of last month and it's rained, pretty much every day since.
Out of the blue, several folks told me this week that they wondered where my blogging had gone, and said they cared about my writing. What they said mattered to me. :-)
I could blame the addictive ease of Twitter and Facebook, the microbloggin and incremental socializing that comes easier then composing a proper bit of writing. But it would be toolish to blame the tools.
It's about the ego, as it always is, and getting around the voice that tells you to put off thinking and crafting sentences, or whispers that what you have to say is not worth the keystrokes. It's about being present enough to other people in your life to keep putting down the thoughts about the world we share, and stuffing them in the electronic bottle, and tossing them into the byte rippling river. Like so.
More bloggy blog blogs please! :)

Liz, anything you have to say is worth WAY MORE than the keystrokes.
