Purpose of Dialogue Blog

This is my first blog, and I'm excited to start. There are two reasons I wanted to write this blog. The most important is that writing seems to be a great tool for me to explore some of the more subtle thinking that goes on in my mind. In everyday thinking, it's like I'm an airport luggage handler moving giant suitcases and boxes through to the fuselage of life. When I write, the handling slows down and I have a chance to peer inside all that baggage, and often, I'm surprised to see how loaded they are. The second reason is that I wanted to have a place in my life for my internal discussions with authors. My concept for the format is to post a quote of whatever length necessary, and then use that as the starting point for my discussion.

This will undoubtedly leave me very exposed, but I do not worry about that. Being vulnerable can be scary sometimes, but it's also a path to insight (as long as it's genuine). I considered just creating a folder of document files, or just adding to my handwritten journal, but neither of those felt right this time. So, here we go!
