You and my husband, to name two.<br /><br />My mother gave me some potted cacti for my desk this year. ;)Bellezza https://www.blogger.com/profile/18073864187188953633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2141183946001080597.post-84877314888029542182010-08-27T07:04:28.209+10:002010-08-27T07:04:28.209+10:00Thanks for the link to Marmelade Gypsy, Tamara. I ...Thanks for the link to Marmelade Gypsy, Tamara. I have often pondered the nature of my blog -- it's hard to get a handle on it. Too many things -- but I suppose having lots to say on lots of things is better than nothing at all! <br /><br />I love the photo on this post -- was this inspired by Ruth's wabi-sabi post? I loved that post, too. The photo is a stunner.<br /><br />Meanwhile, I am catching up from being gone, and have read down. I look forward to learning more about the books you are reading!Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482528482559445943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2141183946001080597.post-27076736165351601392010-08-21T07:03:21.341+10:002010-08-21T07:03:21.341+10:00Thankyou Ruth.

Furthering my thoughts this week as I was reading more about Japanese culture and thinking about the interesctions of life and change. might post more soon.<br /><br />Iliana - my post is up now. Moving on to more Japanese literature as we speak.<br /><br />Chat noir and Ds, My thouhgts on the reasons I blog are constantly changing. But I think I will post more on this soon too.Tamarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14635416571278107397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2141183946001080597.post-31981401860063709062010-08-17T13:28:28.102+10:002010-08-17T13:28:28.102+10:00I have to agree: Ruth's post on wabi-sabi and ...I have to agree: Ruth's post on wabi-sabi and change is wonderful.<br />But you pose a mighty important question at the end of this enlightening post. Why<i>do</i> we blog? A need to connect, a wish to be heard/seen/recognized, to have confirmation that we exist?<br />Must think on this.<br />Good luck with the Murakami--can't wait for your review!dshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07616750784052488695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2141183946001080597.post-10991686435423093702010-08-16T22:08:23.944+10:002010-08-16T22:08:23.944+10:00Why DO we blog?

I'm torn between writing for myself and writing for an audience. <br /><br />If I write for myself its easier to do it in a journal which doesn't require uploading, electricity, internet connectivity etc etc...and I'd still say the same things, but perhaps more personally, and who knows, maybe a little closer to the bone.<br /><br />If I write for an audience, knowingly, I get hung up on how I've written rather than the substance of what I write. If I take the argument too far (with myself) I come down on the side of not wanting to sound pretentious by expecting people will read what I've written. Try correlating that with the slight disappointment when no-one does!!<br /><br />One of the joys, quite unexpected, has been the friends I've made; just like pen-pals of old but with the advantage of seeing something that has motivated the correspondence.<br /><br />Write on.......Chat Noirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04962361595354987431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2141183946001080597.post-24433545575070023982010-08-16T03:23:06.516+10:002010-08-16T03:23:06.516+10:00I'm so glad you were able to get a book of tha...I'm so glad you were able to get a book of that! <br /><br />How's the Murakami book going?Ilianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026669671843769219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2141183946001080597.post-86260363982571246552010-08-15T20:30:06.914+10:002010-08-15T20:30:06.914+10:00Thank you so much for the nod, Tamara!
