I have been mute. No urge to blog. Not much to verbalize either.
This happens to me when I am stewing. What am I stewing about?
"Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?" - Mary Oliver
This is the question that keeps me up at night. It follows me around. I can not hide from it. It keeps me mute. It makes me mad. Why? I am raw with the knowledge that this life is precious, fleeting, impermanent. Each day is given to us but not a given. So each day that goes by that I am not living purposefully and fully, is a day wasted.
I want to count. I want my actions to matter. I want my days to have meaning and consequence. I fear that time will pass me by, and I will have very little to show for my share of this precious time here on earth.
I want to matter.
How will I do this? Stay tuned... I am reinventing myself.
It is exciting to some. It is frightening, daunting, and nerve-wracking too.
