How To Blog

A L O H A !



" How one walks through the world,
the endless small adjustments of balance,
is affected by the shifting weights
of beautiful things
. "
 
Elaine Scarry









" Always live life
with your head in the clouds. "

be your child's favorite toy. "

he can seldom later give.  "

When young,
more often than
not,
all of my sentences began with
"I"
 
 
There was much to express
and all about
"Me."
 
 
I dreamed that someday
many would be interested
in that "I."
 
 
 
The many 
would appreciate
"Me."
 
 
Then I'd be
the special
one!



 
But I have learned
to be more interested
in
 
"You." 
 
 
 
 
Now often I begin 
with that word,
"You"
 
 
 
 
or a question 
to welcome
"You" in.
 
 
 
 
 
As  Ruskin said:
  " When a man is wrapped up in himself,
he makes a pretty small package. "

So-
If you wish to blog,
to write,
I'd say:
 
' Be who you are,
but it's not about
yourself. '
 
 

It's all about
the one who comes
( like a miracle )
the one who reads.
 
 

Care about 
that reader,
 
 
 
and what you write
may be worthy
of their time
and attention.
 
 

My life is the topic
of this blog,
but it's purpose is
 
Y O U
 
and the connection
that we make.

Each time you visit,
you truly make my
spirit shine.

It's all about
Us!

So HAPPY
that it is.
