Working on the “new” journal. I’ll slowly be adding older entries and organizing a very disorganized collection of journals, pages and thoughts.
I’m leaving this public for now, but if it gets too difficult, I’ll make it private – for obvious reasons.
Coat of Arms
My motto: “if broken, still strong” (si fractus fortis) comes from our family crest. Notice the broken lance. They say our family can never be broken. Also they tell me the three horns are because we “like to blow our own horn”. (It’s actually the sign of the forrester.)
My own version of the coat of arms, by the way, keeps the motto, the crest and the helm, but I’ve updated it with the horned Pegasus, which means “poet”.
This online journal is the ‘print’ version of many many handwritten ones. I have a strong tendency to ramble and I often repeat myself. So expect long, meandering entries. And I bitch a lot. If it seems like that’s all I’m doing, well, that’s because this is the place to do it.
Call it ‘stream-of-consciousness’, call it ‘stream-of-unconsciousness’, call it ‘surrealism’ – it’s all me. This is my journey through the world, through my life, and through the lives of the ‘many who live as one’ in my system. Most forms of “I”, “you”, “we” and sometimes “she” refers to me.
Welcome to my journey.
