Will This Blog Still Be Jumping In September?

My friend Michael just emailed me the following:

I like that you have a blog! and... but... I sometimes have this thought/perception of you that you "Charge out of the gate like a bucking bronco... rootin and tootin with newness.... and then you loose steam a little too soon....."

Will your blog still be jumpin' in September?

My response: Thank you Michael! I smiled a big smile when I read your email. I like having people my life who have known me for decades and know some of the quirks of the Bruce personality. Your question is spot on. I am wordless as I sit here pondering it.

I watch that Bruce guy also. It does seem, as times, that he comes out full blast and then runs and jumps in a hole. Part of why he goes there is because there are magical kingdoms for him in those holes, whole universes of rich experience to be explored and savored.

And... and... I know there is more to the picture here, more to his showing up and disappearing. In this moment I find myself baffled by this, by the mystery of it and am somehow amused by my bafflement.

As some of you know, I like having answers to everything, and with this I just see ? ? ? ?. I like being clueless too. In clueless I feel like a wide-eyed child looking at the world for the first time.

Will I still be here in September?

If this blog becomes more and more of a collective event, I think so. If this becomes part of the Continuing Party, I think so. If this keeps cracking me open, I think so.

I have 492 planets in the house of groups. If some of you start posting here on a regular basis, I think so. I love checking my email and finding emails from all of you. As this becomes more of a community space, this blog will be high on my list of things to check on.

It is a sheer delight for me to have been down some interesting rabbit hole and to then check back in with other home planets that have morphed and changed since I was last there.

If this is just "my blog" that is too small, static and flat. The juice could run out of that for me.

And yet if the universe starts to dance and make music here, I am riveted.

And... and... dreaming forward a bit. If this changes into a website where you each have an opportunity to be center stage with your own new material, as well as comment, then, then... the party gets even more interesting.

In the meantime, your new material is welcome in the comments section, as long as it generally relates to the theme of a thread...

What is brewing and bursting forth as you read this? I would love to read about it here.

Is there something you see about yourself in regards to appearing and disappearing?

I am nursing a life time vision in this small, humble, rough in places, sprout of a blog. I will be throwing wood on that fire for sure, where ever that may be.

You are part of that vision. And friendly input like Michael's to me helps move things along.

Thanks for being here!

Bruce
