The blog is suffereing a little as of late as my focus is placed towards a few chapters of an attempt at a book and me trying to get a head start on the summer papers. If there is anything new to post, then it will be posted, but I am trying to avoid spending too much more time in front of the computer than necesary for the writing.

The blog, over the past three to four months, has almost turned into the memories of past "encuentros" and "caminos". When the things which were the anchor to many things rested in an assumed future, and that achor disappears, there is a sudden feeling of being completely lost in the present and future and only the security of the past moments are capable of creating a feeling that does not border a complete loss of control. It is that moment when sadness is the only secure emotion, that one can really understand what gave a true state of happiness, and that the sadness is the tremendous shadow that is left from what lent that state. The thing is, there are other things that lend a light to cast a new shadow, but you have to be willing to step out into that new light, or that new sun. Is that a willingness to give-up on an old happiness, just in hope of the new light, another which could burn or turn its focus in another direction? A lack of that willingness may be the piece that hampers the beginning of the duel, the beginning of the process of recuperation and acceptance of another light. When is the right time for that next light?
