My dreamland breaks down as follows: 10% dread, 10% joy, 45% astonishment not in a good way, 35% anxiety. The dread category starts out as astonishment, evolved into anxiety, and ends up dread. Joy can start off as astonishment but it gets resolved, and this leads to joy.
On balance, most nights are a negative spin, not a positive one. I suppose this means I find life to be challenging.
I am a voracious reader and also enjoy writing. I often have a very different point of view than the popular one. I do see value in debate, and thought it might add to the public debate on controversial issues if I were to express my contrarian opinions. I also started keeping my poems recently (I've written little pieces my whole adult life but never kept any); and I've been a photographer now for over 25 years. So I will be adding an occasional poem and hopefully interesting photograph to the blog along the way, just to spice things up.
