Some of you may have noticed I keep changing my themes and formats for this blog.  This is because I myself am still in a somewhat intense period of learning and shape-shifting.  All of us have many aspects.  In different mediums, with different others, we take on different expressions.  I happen to change a lot, which means sometimes I must change on stage!

Eventually, like the daemons in Phillip Pullman’s wonderful His Dark Materials series, the expression will settle naturally.  Maybe we’ll have the sense of having gone through blog puberty together!

I hope you’ll keep checking in, because I’ll keep returning too.  In fact my new commitment, after taking some courses and accepting difficult feedback, is to simply show up more, to go back to writing snapshot moments true to this blog’s Smile Lines title.
