The reply from liz elayne got me thinking about the new language that we forge on blogs.Unlike a conversation or letter, it is not direct. Our audience is not known. But unlike a movie, the audience and story teller can have direct conversations. We never know who is having a conversation with us by saying yes, I know, I have felt.
This unknown dialog is a conversation of emotion and memory, triggered by images, photographic or created with words.
The blog is like a virtual personality, we tell a story of ourselves whereby we can explore ourself and others can explore us and themselves.
Someone can pick up a conversation hours after we had it and through their memory resonating with ours, reply - unbound by time and space.
When I express a feeling and for the first time I feel as if someone truly know what I mean because they feel it too... I wish I could find words to express what it feels like. But I can't.

I started blogging because I want to have snapshots of my life and what my reality was like in the past. I remember the pleasure of finding old diaries and journals again ( not that I ever wrote many, or kept long at what I did do ). I want to start building that treasure for myself again. I deposit little gems of me for a future me to find.
Because they are snapshots, and because my mood dictates my desire to post, my snapshots tend to be frivolous rather than insightful, and I try to get myself to post more of my serious moments. Then I remember that life is not all serious, and that I get as much out of it being lighthearted as I do being reflective and introspective. And then I realize that the last thing I need is to be angsty over what I write in my blog. Life is full of opportunities and standing still and wringing my hands over them will not bring me anything. Rather, I want to be an trapeze acrobat, flitting from opportunity to opportunity. Support from each opportunity, a moment of complete connection with each waystation, and then a renewed momentum towards the next one. Sure I will come down on occasion and renew my relationship with solid ground, but I don't want to spend my days standing below and looking up.
I would enjoy seeing your blog. Blogger won't allow me to access it from here.
