do not regret the past, nor wish to shut the door

Today is the last day of 2016. For no particular reason I felt the need to begin posts tomorrow. There has been a great deal of cheesy posts floating around the internet about 2017 being a new book with new pages. I think of this blog not as a new book or chapter but a continuation to a journey of rebirth and growth. Therefore I am not shutting the book to my past; rather, looking forward to the future through reflection on experiences and renewed hope by documenting the present. 

This blog is meant to be a memoir of sorts and also a depiction of my most authentic self as a trudge the road of happy destiny. I am not alone. I walk along side / intersecting / hand in hand / carrying others / & being carried myself. This human life is not meant to walk alone. I intend to speak of spiritual growth, mistakes, joys, sorrows, existential inspirations, and healing -- just to name a few. I put forth effort into this on a daily basis with no expectations other than a therapeutic experience. If I inspire the reader, it will be a vicarious gain. 

The link for the corresponding profile to this blog gives some poetry as to the background journey that brought me to place... a continuous fight and flight.
