Can names change the Universe? How about many "persona's," given voice; and, a tremulous re-working upon the themes of ones life.
At this point in my life, (in the cyberworld) I'm known by many names. These names, aka's all, have brought me joy, as well as sadness; a name, my friends, can change a person.
[When you're born, you are given a name. The name becomes your skin; your laughter; and your life. Those who are in your orbit, see your parents, and your ancestors, in your name. It was given to you; however, what the name says about you, began in the mind of your Mother & Father.]
In the course of blogging, so many changes occurred; in real life, and in the Matrix [ie: what a blogger friend, and I,have called the cyberspace we share] my Universe expanded, (yes, it did!)...but, so did the physical & mental trials in my day-to day existence.
I don't know where this Universe, begins & ends for me.
What I do know, is that mostly, this writing and sharing has been a comfort; a piece of my heart (no matter how "naughty," or persona-filled.)
Let's try to get along in this Universe. I have hurt people, and myself in this Universe, but I know it was never intentional~~until, of course, I had to defend myself.
All we, as Bloggers, can do is try to share what we can. It doesn't really matter what name, or persona, we use. All we can do is hope for some type of understanding. Because the world can be a scary place, where a heartbeat~~each heartbeat~~can change an individual life, I've decided to "keep on, keepin' on," as the great Civil Rights Leaders said, 40 years ago.
Only this time, (and, Lord knows, there have been MANY TIMES!) I'll be using my "real" name. Instead of "Bill" I'm expanding this Universe, once again...
as,
Will.
I hope you'll join me, friends, for this ever-growing
Journey. I dedicate this blog, and all of those that came before it, to The Road Less Traveled. In the Spirit of the old poet:
Welcome.
Love, today & always,
Will. 8/11/07.....peace.
