Meandering

Having at least settled temporally with a name and color scheme, I'm wondering where to take my blog. Having found my way into the discipline of writing daily, and not agonizing too much about what I'm actually going to write, I think it's time to find a little more focus. But how to take this forward?

At different times, different things have occurred to me. My Living in New York travel blog idea has moments of inspiring me, but then living in the back waters of Long Beach is hardly inspiring. It's not Manhattan, and short of making a trip every week to the city, it can hardly be anything more than a tedious suburban chunnering. Taking it in the direction of a spiritual reflection is also an option, but one that takes me to a place of uncertainty. I live with the illusion that no one reads my blog (well, almost no one) and I haven't yet managed how to walk the line between blog and personal journal. A decision to be more poetic or literary just feels presumptuous and self-serving, but then blogging is in and of itself a supremely narcissistic enterprise. I'd also like to think I could be funny, but sustained humor is hardly my forte and even the best irony feels jaded after a while.

So I guess I will continue as I have... trust what unfolds and wait for clarity or inspiration to emerge.
