As a conscious being my awareness moves from object to object, taking in information and making connections between them.  When I am thoroughly involved in this movement of awareness, I feel like reality is a seamless flow of time.  At other times, I feel like I am muddling through my day barely able to think and perceive clearly from moment to moment.  Sometimes my awareness is focused on the outside world around me, but often my awareness is turned inside to my thoughts, feelings, and sensations.  Both worlds fascinate me.

The purpose of this journal is to allow me a space to reflect on my inner and outer experiences.  The potential for witnesses intensifies this process.  Posts may describe an event during my day, a dream experienced asleep or awake, a dialog between conflicting parts of my psyche, a rant about one thing or another, or an idea for a new project or design.  Links listed include sites that represent areas of enduring interest or pages of friends I wish to support and share. Comments on posts are welcome.  I have set them so that I can review them before they are made public in order to weed out comments that are rude and have no other pertinent value.

I expect the looks and focus of this journal to shift over time, as I become more comfortable with the technology and with writing posts.  This first post is hard to write because it is a first post.  I hope the second, third, and fourth posts, as well as those beyond, will become easier and feel less like writing a term paper.
