Blogging, Synchronicity, Inspiration, the Web

For anyone who, like me, decided to take the leap and experiment with creating a blog for this Artist's Way journey, and who has gone through a gamut of doubts and questions and fears and excitements about the process, Tess has a list of reasons to neglect your blog that you may relate to. - I definitely did. I laughed out loud reading it. While she's not in the Artist's Way group, she tells stories that I find way inspiring and think you will, too - particularly Enlightenment Under the Mulberry Tree. I came across her blog via Fran, who also pointed me in the direction of Kat's Paws, although she is not a member of the Artist's Way Group either . I am fascinated with this web of connections, interconnections, multi-connections that is forming. It reminds me of the idea that when we are held by a net with many connections like that, even if one, or two threads break or slacken, the others hold. There is great strength in the variety and multiplicity of the group. - When one of us is feeling down, others are there to say what is holding them up, and I love that - experiencing it, witnessing it, trying to participate in it. Someone else mentioned Indra's Net. This seems like a real expression of that idea to me.

I am putting time into reflecting on privacy, safety, the balance between what is shared, what needs to be shared, not shared... those things. I notice some people express their entire thought process on topics, meaningful events from everyday life, life history events, and others are more circumspect. I suppose I'm the latter type. - I'm just gradually feeling my way in here, and trying to figure out (a) what about me would be of any remote interest to people out there and (b) what might I say that I would be ok with people in my real life reading? - Or NOT ok with? Tess's list covers a lot of those things. I suppose time sorts it out, but I don't want to start to feel uncomfortable, and stop posting because I haven't resolved the dilemna either.
