Nearly six years passed since last I wrote on a blog – in the life of a blog, surely this is equivalent to an epoch or two. The voice I read in previous posts is strangely familiar but distant, too, communicating with unusual clarity, deftness of speech, and a winsome romance of language. I’m not certain he exists anymore.
If he is truly gone, what has taken his place? Some phrases float through my mind: a man of less romance and more bitter truth…a pragmatist…a heart folded by painful years.
But as I have heard that speech after long silence is right – and in part, out of curiosity as to whether this blog still functions, I publish! and surrender these brave, these wounded words unto the void…
