Emerging from the Hole

Whether a regular reader or not, anyone even glancing at this blog would very quickly notice the rather expansive time period since my last posting. Despite being behind on the technological updates of the last 19 or so months (over Christmas I marvelled at an iphone and had to ask for an explanation of Twitter; to date I am yet to learn what an ipad is), I am still savvy enough to know that gaps of two months are not exactly good practice in the blogging world.But here I am, on the blog again, having emerged from what I have started calling my‘communications black hole’. It wasn’t that I didn’t talk to anyone of course, I did – but I also limited my speech, my emails, my writing, in too many ways. After a couple of months of enveloping myself in comforting quiet, that dark space of silence no longer seems so attractive.This is not the forum to share the reasons for my hiding hole, indeed I am not sure I could quite explain it (the words may be coming again, but that does not mean I have all the ones I require). The point is, I’ve stepped back out into the sunshine, re-remembered the beauty of conversation, and am back on the communications. It’s good to be here.
