Today I re-read the last post of my second 365 Day Blogging Project. That was over a year ago now. How the time flies!
It’s interesting to look over past posts. They have different vibrations, different moods, different interests, for sure. Some are playful, some a bit moody.Some are intellectual and insightful, others are whimsical. In other words, they are still very much what I am now… because I’m still the same person in many ways!
There’s a timeless timeliness– or the timely timelessness (?)–to them. When I wrote them, they were works in the present. Soon enough, I am looking at them as souvenirs, of sorts, from the past. It’s a contradiction of time moving forward.
And yet, as a writer, I keep going back to the same themes, the same topics, the same modes of expression. Some posts have spoken to me as if they were written to me by someone else. Sometimes I am surprised by how similar a past post is from something I wrote recently. The posts have sort of taken on a life of their own at that point. It’s like I’m the architect trying to get out of my own maze.
I’m staring into a kaleidoscope and don’t recognize that it’s my face I am staring at.
