Getting out there

For a long time I have felt the need to get myself out there.

I am not even sure what I mean by that... get what out where?

Well I guess that I have many aspects to my personality, some of which do not find full expression in my everyday world. So here is an opportunity to share some of those thoughts, values and concepts with whomever may choose to stop by, pause a while and read.

This feels a bit like a new exercise book at school, or a new journal. There is a reluctance to make a mistake and ruin the pristine page. However after a few days there I am scribbling and crossing out so hopefully I will relax into this as well.

I had hoped that Facebook and LinkedIn would offer me the opportunity to share but they seem to be superficial contact engines that do not welcome realness or depth. Maybe here in my own little space I can put out there what I have and at least I have the knowledge that I have done it, shared it - even if no one reads it.

So briefly I want to share a current tension I am living with.

You see as I prepare to write this my thinking changes, I start to answer my own questions. If you are looking for short, sharp answers this is not for you as I will share my meanderings and thought processes as well.

I was going to write - What does the world want from a man today?

By the time that thought had come to consciousness I was already asking myself "What sort of man do I want to be in my world?"

That is enough for me to pnder on for the moment.
