When I decided to resume this blog of mine, my wife who is from the Philippines got very excited. She had seen something on Facebook about a Filipino who was making millions of dollars from his blog. Lots of flashy cars and beautiful beaches, attractive people in various states of undress. You get the idea.
I had to explain to her that my blog isn’t like that. “So what’s it about?” she asked. “Art, experimental art at that, writing, the writing process, steam of consciousness, photography, that kind of thing –” Beyond that I didn’t know what to say. “How are you going to make any money doing that?” she asked. “Well, as usual, I’m not,” I replied, somewhat defiantly. I think she understood.
Maybe I don’t know exactly what this is, this blog of mine. I’m OK with that. The one thing I know for sure is that I’m not about to make a million dollars from it.
The more I think of it, having come back to it again after a fairly lengthy hiatus, maybe it’s something of a scrapbook. Remember those? Fragments, ideas, photos, images, ramblings, musings, sketches, not complete but perhaps leading somewhere, perhaps not.
I like that. Let’s go with that for now and see where it leads us, if anywhere.
“Oh, do not ask ‘What is it?’ Let us go and make our visit . . .”
Thanks for reading! See you soon.
