A Year in Preview
What is it that I seek?
To be a part of a larger whole, and to have the most important parts of me recognized and engaged. I need a good use for my heart, which desires to indulge into the beauty of all things great and small. I also require honed skills to let my soul voice its creativity. I wish to fold both of these streams of energy back onto my own life, to properly build my ethereal body, the virtual part of me that connects myself to my surroundings.
Enough of my life has passed as I've pondered what to make of the world. I need to make those choices, about what I believe and where my allegiance lies. What it all means to me and what I can make out of the world. It's high time I got creative.
But that is all idealized. For one, there's the zombie in me, who can and will shut off all of my switches. My functional life is a vehicle whose engine is incomplete. A lot is up to fate and chance. The cogs of my mental power stations need a thorough cleaning. And then there's all the neglected threads in my surrounding social web.
What can be done in 2011?
- I want to write more stories. I want to make them a part of my daily routine. And every week, I want to write a short story that I make public. It'll be a new blog, which I'll get up and running shortly.
- Computer time has become something I resort to when I do not want to admit that I have nothing truly worthwhile to do. It also dangerously drains my energy. I will put restrictions on my Internet usage this year.
- At least every second week, I'll invite several friends to a social event. Even when I worry that they don't like me that much. I also want to write more letters.
To this new year, I dedicate One Man's Dream by Yanni. It's music that rings true to my heart, and seems a good place to start.
