It's Wednesday My Dudes
That's the title of the Discord group where people play Star Trek DS9 and watch it together. It's abstract because I don't know what the meaning is, other than announcing it's Wednesday, and since today is Wednesday, the day I decided last night after chatting with the AI about reviving my participation in Blogger and Wordpress sites I started long ago, it's a fitting title.
I haven't reviewed what I posted a couple years ago when I supposedly was going to start writing here again, so I won't be continuing whatever I was saying then, but I just wanted to re-introduce myself to the process of writing and posting; before I procrastinated or de-motivated. I'm going to keep this for writing, and use the Wordpress for my artwork sharing and notes on anything art related. Keep it Simple is always a good motto to remember.
I used to write regularly back and forth with my Uncle Wolfman (Eugene) in Ohio, but sadly he died the year before last. Then I was continuing to exchange art cards, letters, and texts with my dear friend and Moon Circle Sister Turquoize Moon Dancer in Oregon (I think I will write a whole essay about her in the future)... and then she died last summer...and I still write to some friends in California (Barb, one of my former high school teachers, and Rachel an old high school friend), but they don't write back, so it is very unfulfilling to try to maintain a correspondence with them. Barb writes very occasionally, but Rachel not at all; which I find strange because she used to be a prolific letter writer. My friend Adrienne, whom I have known since my Portland days of working at Soho Video, always writes back (with very artistic and creative handmade envelopes and thoughtful musings) but only when she is visiting her mom in Grass Valley, because she lives in Mexico now, and won't share her address with me for whatever reason (though we exchange messenger messages several times a week).
My point is, I don't have people to write with, so if I'm writing to myself essentially, I may as well write in a blog. That's enough for now. I will make this a goal in writing to post something on Wednesday and Saturday each week. I might write about work, or relationships, spirituality and moon cycles, or cooking and television shows, I don't know. Probably a variety, because that's how life works, and that's the purpose of throwing one's words out into the void; just to get it all out of your head.
I know I can't re-create the magic of the creative card and letters that I exchanged with Turquoize, or Adrienne, but I can share my thoughts openly, and without fear or concern of what anyone thinks, so that will be a reward in itself.
PEACE! Til Saturday, take care of yourself.
