There is a conflict that has grown within me since returning here. A confusion about my purpose for presenting words that I have kept hidden from the world. I want to be careful to avoid a public journal that never had a reason to be seen. As long as I can discern the difference, then I can know what box each story belongs in. It’s easy to identify why I choose to publish a book a poetry, (a project not yet finished) but harder to understand writing in a place without rules or boundaries. To publish, if not for monetary gain, is about leaving a legacy. But what about in a virtual book? Everyone who ever spent time here knows its about being seen or not seen. You can be both a mystery and a celebrity. Its a stage of your own creation. I’m not sure I like that kind of freedom. It’s a risk that I take not knowing how deep the water is. But this beautiful place would not exist, if we had not looked at the edge and dived in.
