This is one of those days when I should probably say nothing. But can I manage that? Nope.
It's a "why am I blogging anyway?" day today.
There are times when we have something to say, that we just have to get off our chest. Or some bit of good news to share or a sorrow that we need help carrying around. Or maybe a worry that when we put it on cyberpaper doesn't look half as scary. - - All good reasons to blog.
There are other times however, when blogging degenerates into 'white noise'. Like the sound that you get in between radio stations that I am told is the radio signature of the universe. Charged particles from the Horse Head Nebula, or the death throws of a red dwarf star.
But the real analogy that came to me today was of newborn puppies or kittens. They mew or grunt so that their mother knows they are still alive. Touch a newborn kitten and they will mew every time. Same with puppies. 'Don't forget me. Don't stop cleaning me. Don't stop feeding me! I can't see you, but I know you are there. I'm still alive!'
Well, that is what this blog entry is today.
The cybersignature of one soul, spewing forth pixels, adding to the white noise of the internet. Just to communicate this one thing....
I'm still alive!
