An Act of Discipline

I initially envisioned this blog as being a daily record of one or two of the important things I learned. In theory a very grand and laudable goal, it was also a commitment to do nothing. Obviously, if I don't learn anything "important" in any one day, I don't want to post for fear of allowing standards to fall. On the other hand, in a period of slow reader interaction, posting more often will keep the buzz going.

Well, the biggest thing I discovered is that it takes a lot more commitment and more to say than I do to keep the flow going.

But I think that I can increase the things I have to write about if I experience more than I have of late. I need to just take the time to think of onee or two things to say every day. Even more important, I have to make sure it actually gets done.

I Don't Write As Much As I Should

I started this blog thinking I would have a lot to say.  Silly me.  As it happens, My personality type is such that I am not inclined to share, nor am I naturally attuned to things to let enough in to talk about if I were the sort to talk a lot anyway.

I am extremely introspective, so Shrink says, and I find sharing to be a risky and dangerous activity.

I suppose that the idea here is that the blog affords enough anonymity to allow me a sense of safety.  I can say what's on my mind, because nobody knows me.  I'm still working through it.

I have been reading A History of Western Philosophy by Bertrand Russell and Carl Jung's Memories, Dreams, Reflections.  Both books talk a lot about god.  I use the little "g" god because there are a lot of gods being discussed.  I'm not sure where I stand on all this, but be on the lookout for some god talk coming soon.
