My absence
I have not written in this blog for about 10 months. Why? A few reasons I suppose. I guess it's because writing is both easy and really hard for me. I have a ton of thoughts buzzing around in my head that I want to put down on paper, but then I get caught up in my perfectionism of trying to make everything sound just right--to remove any traces of doubt about the meaning of what I'm trying to say. It's exhausting. I might try to keep the posts shorter. Another reason is that we've spent a lot of time just trying to actually be Orthodox, now that we've joined the Church (sorry for the spoiler). That doesn't mean that we've stopped thinking about what we believe, but we've been trying to do more listening than talking. And being a Christian isn't just about getting the right set of beliefs, but about your relationships with God and your fellow man. So there's that too.
Well, I've seen plenty of blogs that go silent for a long time, then come back with and "OK, I'm back!" post, and then after a few more posts are silent again. This may or may not be one of those blogs. We'll just have to see how things go. No promises. ("or demands... love is a battlefield...")
