Starting over again. This time going to try to keep up with it. I have been thinking lately of it as sort of a religious endeavor in this world of religious turmoil. I wanted to use a better word than “turmoil” to describe the level of divisiveness of religion in general. So, let me explain why I say religious endeavor. Well, we all need something to push us along and motivate us through the twists, turns and roadblocks in life. Something needs to be there to carry us through. It has to be a way to reach out and grasp or at least to interact with the unknown and be able to deal, to cope, to live.
Therefore, this blog should not be so much centered on my own inner thoughts and reflections but a story, an interaction, a search. It should be an attempt to place one foot in front of the other and a place to leave from and a place to come back to. Just like a journal, it is perhaps a point of orientation and centering.
Sometimes it seems life may have meaning and that we create the meaning and then when we are done with it, the meaning that we have created is somehow absorbed, learned and swept away, or it disappears into the unfathomable unknown. Such is life.
Today off with a two hour walk with my friend Rich. We took two rounds walking around a well known park, then we pushed it and took another loop around. The walk took two hours. Definitely it was longer than my usual walks. It feels though like I need some new walking shoes. My current ones are so-so. After intentionally being a Birkenstock wearing guy to allow my feet to not be cramped into shoes and to promote good foot health, I just am not used to the running shoes.
