Comments Welcome

Let's be honest: Blogs are for people to spill their thoughts onto Information Superhighway. Most of them amuse no one but their authors, which is perfectly OK. That's their purpose.

That's why I write mine.

In that spirit, I'm scrolling down this page, admiring my handywork, when I see that someone has posted a comment under one of the entries. "What in the world...?" I think as I click to read it. Holy cow! Somebody has read this! Not only that, the person has been inspired enough to respond in writing. So it's no Herculean task to tap out a few words in an Internet message but still!

I wanted to hug somebody. I don't know why. Maybe we bloggers busily type out these things, secretly (or not so secretly) hoping to reach the world. Or at least one person in it. Are we people who don't get enough traditional human interaction in our lives that we reach for it here?

Again with the recreational thinking. I ask questions. I don't have to answer them.

But you are welcome to. I have no illusions that anyone who finds this site will do so in any way other than by complete accident. Until today I wrote here thinking that I was not only this blog's author but its only audience. But if you feel so moved, I will gladly read your replies.
