Introduction

I have misgivings about this - writing, here.

One of my favorite authors, Frederick Buechner, eloquently expresses similar misgivings (in his book Telling Secrets) in reference to writing autobiographical works. He wrote, "It is like telling somebody in detail how you are before they have asked the question, "How are you? Indeed it isn't like it; it IS it." I like that he goes on to say, "But I do it anyway because I need to do it... I find I need to put things into words before I can believe they are entirely real."

I don't mean to suggest that whatever I shall blather on about here will resemble anything like a memoir. On the other hand, I can't guarantee it won't either. I'll just write and see where it goes.

If you're still reading this, you are a kind soul and I thank you.
