Thanks for your kind words, Flint. It definitely made my day. :-)

I visit Tribe very rarely and don't do social networking sites, for whatever silly reasons on my part. I am curious, however, how the writing in the new blog site impacts you and other people.

Yes, it's very personal, but then again, it really isn't. I seem to be saying some stuff that no one else is saying, however, and some of it is pretty unsettling.

I may feel "called" to do that but that too may be pure hallucination on my part. The question is whether it gets under anyone's skin, and if so, does it actually percolate? Does it make people yawn, cream, in their jeans or -- it won't be necessary, I think -- want to blow up bridges?

I know what's true for me, but we do all meet together in the end. I am about as far from New Age Granola and its collective Pablum as one can get, however. But a primal scream seems too self-indulgent and I never quite believed the cr*p they tried to teach me on the nature of the ineffable.

I think it can indeed be articulated, though the question I have is "how well have I done that?"

Someone told me I should write an article, even a book perhaps. For me, that doesn't compute. Kiva Transitions isn't nearly as intellectually ponderous, perhaps, but then thinking types don't turn me on as a group. Lots of jerk-off/jill-off sessions there for sure, but I'm an INFP, though I can be scathingly judgmental at times, the sword cuts both ways.

I am curious to know whether I've said anything in the blog (which isn't a blog at all, just as Kiva was a dog who actually wasn't a dog) that connects, if not on a head-level, then on a heart-level.

Thanks again and blessings to you in your journey, brother.
