Blogs

When I just want to zone out, take a time out from my routine I browse blogs. I've mentioned this before. It only happens late in the evening or in the middle of the night. I do it because it gives me connection. Each blogger shares a piece of themselves, a piece of their soul.

Sometimes I'm amazed at the creativity, or sometimes it is simply sharing something they enjoy such as recipes. OK, I don't cook and do not study the recipes like I know some do, analyzing the ingredients and wondering how it would come out. I know some can even look at the recipe and say that's too much salt or vermouth. Not me so I move on but I understand.

All this reminds me of my humanity, of our connection as humans, and tells me that there are extremes but the vast majority - masses if you insist, are living life in love, happiness, anger, sadness, loneliness, frustration, joy, and more often in quiet desperation (the term is so accurate but I dislike it because it's negative). but living our lives the only way we know how. Shakespeare said:

"All the worlds a stage,
and all the men and women players:
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts,"

That is each of us, here. Our blogs show a minuscule part of our stage, but all actors only show a small part. We go onto the stage, do our act, and return to our dressing room and our life. The best actors understand their part and relate to their audience. They live their part and if they do well, the audience gets it
