Another day, another post on my blog.

I really have become attached to this thing, as it's become my quasi creative outlet. I always seem to bed feeling unsatisfied, as if there was something I wanted to say to someone but can't. I don't exactly know what that something is or who even the person is, but there is something there...a connection that needs to be made or something. I don't quite know how to describe it. It's very fuzzy. Anywho...this is what this thing is about, connecting with you all out there in internet land. If it seems like I promote this dealy to y'all it's because I want you to read it and I want to feel like perhaps my thoughts could make a connection...

Life has it's ups and downs, but one thing that makes me feel grateful for having ever been created is the ability to connect on an emotional/spiritual level with people. When people share a story, or a part of themselves it feels so special, because it feels like you have been given a gift more precious than money or material goods, because to share that part of themselves with you the person had to trust you, and had to think well enough of you to invite you into their lives. It is the most genuine of gifts. People sometimes ask me for advice or tell me their troubles and then apologize for troubling me ith their troubles. But, for me anyway, it's an honor to be trusted enough to be asked for advice, or to have something deeply personal confided with me. It shows a connection which is very real, and such things you can take with you for the rest of your life.

Such connections give me hope that there is some higher purpose to our lives, and perhaps there is some spark of divinity in all of us. I am not a religious person, but through my relationships and experiences with people, I feel like there is some world that exists beyond the physical, mundane world that we live in. I refuse to believe that the tremendous feeling I get from connecting with people is just from the firing of random synapses in the brain. That may be the scientific explanation, but what gave us this? What set up the mechanism for such things to even be possible?? There is something beyond us that we cannot explain.
