The bubble popped with extraordinary force.

The valve hissed and the cart lurched forward.

The apples toppled, delightfully, in slow motion.

I sprung to catch them–

An attempt to foil the unfortunate jam.

A tiny rock lodged in the wheel–

A careless choice or hapless circumstance.

The cart was overturned.

Hey everyone!  Well, I have been doing a lot of thinking (big surprise!) the past few weeks and am feeling the need reposition myself–spiritually, mentally, physically.  I don’t know exactly what that means yet, but I think that will all work itself out in time.

In speaking with my therapist, I have begun doing some in-depth psychological work.  I believe this is going to be a very important process for my own enrichment and growth.

Having said that, I believe the tact I have taken with this blog up until this time has served its purpose–giving me an avenue for communication with others about my sobriety, spirituality, etc.  But I am now feeling the need to back away from it–at least in the manner I have previously used.

I will continue to post on the site but only as an outgrowth of what I am doing in the work with my therapist or the abundance of my experience.  I also hope to write some poetry and who knows, perhaps more.

I am finding that I enjoy working with pen in hand rather than hands on keyboard.  I can go deeper.  I don’t become concerned with what’s being said or who is reading it.

My posts may be a little less frequent but I believe the quality of them will be better.  I am really excited about trying something new and sharing with you what I learn.

Namaste (I bow to you),

John
