Do you hear the people sing?

I miss blogging.

This kind of blogging, where every public word wasn't meant to sell something, or create a persona, or try endlessly, endlessly, to join that inner circle of inanity. It was just me, flying solo, with friends popping in and out supportively over the years to comment and occasionally break out their own blogs.

I miss playful language. Being allowed to play, to dip in and out of perspectives and up and down avenues. Ignoring the undertones of What's this mean? and Clarify here. Some of the play has been beaten out of me, whether from my quest to be published "traditionally" or from the overall calming of my emotions, I can't say.

But I'd like to try again. I know that much.
