Yes, blogging is out of vogue. But after deleting my facebook page I'm finding pleasure in older, slower things, including online expression that isn't focused on cramming an image of me into one sentence. Better yet, my thoughts aren't being forced onto anyone by appearing in their news feed nor are their thoughts/pictures/new relationship assaulting me.
You might call it spring cleaning. I've been deleting numbers from my phone; all those 'friends' I might *someday* need to contact. I've been silencing my texting habit and spending some real face time with the faces I love. And I've been writing letters again. Writing letters can open you.
Maybe I'm trying for a new leaf. I don't know. What I do know is that without all the clutter from facebook filling my brain (do I really need to know how she feels about her job anyway?), I've been doing a lot of thinking.
Also, Mumford&Sons are positively inspired.
so tell me now where was my fault/
in loving you with my whole heart?
...lead me to the truth and I/
will follow you with my whole life
Is 59:19
So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him. [or, shall put him to flight]
