Inspired. Perplexed. Amused. Curious.

Inspired by Uli's recent blogging. Perplexed by the complexities of day-to-day life as a (ahem) forty-year-old "adult." Amused by the incredibly whimsical spirit of cultures and peoples. Curious enough to still be asking why and how. And full of desire to be in touch with you who are so precious to me more often and in more ways.

After a long reprieve on this medium and after rescinding my online presence during the political cacophony of the last year on social media, I still have a desire to be in touch, to know the world, and to share and learn from friends and family. Rather than start up a new mode (although I was rather inspired by a friend's experience on Instagram recently), I think I'll just pick up where I left of here on this blog. After all, it has more than ten years of personal history embedded.

However, there are a few changes. To share a moment or opinion with an entire public of unknowns was never my desire in posting, and it seems more and more important to me to know my audience in life. For that reason, I've changed the privacy settings to include friends and family (please let me know if someone we know might like a link -- I'm happy to share). I hope this will create a space for more unfettered communication with all the people I care a lot about and who will share back with comments, reactions, or corrections if need be! I've grown tired of wandering and become more interested in examining and delighting. It seems apropos that this blog grow into something less like a travel log and more like newsletter of amusements directly from me, wherever that might be.
