A real and serious blogger
Quote of the day:
How can we make sense of anything that is happening in the world if not through the lens of our own experience? Danny Miller
From time to time I question my blogging purpose. Sometimes I question whether I should continue blogging at all. Lately I have been wondering if I am a real and serious blogger. After all, I do not attend any blogging conferences. And I have noticed that some bloggers receive over 50 comments on their posts regularly. They must have hundreds, probably thousands, possibly tens of thousands of hits a day.
I seem to piddle along telling tales of cats with broken legs and proddings into my own psyche – how boring or meaningless is that? Surely a real blogger writes about important issues, socio-cultural news, or opines politically about the wrongs and rights of everything. Most likely I take the "lens of [my] own experience" a bit too far. After all, who am I to be telling the world (even as teeny as my world of readers is) about my stupid little life?
Would a real and serious blogger write about bringing home Molly‘s ashes today? Lighting a memorial candle next to the tidy little wooden box that contains her remains … reflecting on how small the box is when Molly seemed so large and full of life when she was alive. Wondering where or whether to bury her ashes in the near future … missing my old, furry friend each morning when I rise, each evening when I retire …
