Watering Hole

I've spent the past couple days ruminating on what I want this blog to be. Nothing annoys me more than when people make a blog and talk about useless stuff - mundane, colorless droning about fluff instead of riffing on what really matters and filling in the blanks. So I've been doing some inner exploring of my own, trying to flesh out what I want to accomplish with this online narrative of my life. Here's what I came up with...


What I want this blog to be:
1. A launching pad for your own daydreams, to encourage you in a healthy thought life. 
2. An 8"x10" print of the things I bring into focus the most throughout my day, the thoughts and experiences I find most interesting through the lens of my viewpoint.
3. A watering hole for those who need a drink, perhaps of some hope they may not even know they need.
4. The hand-penned notes in the margins of my life's story.
5. A sweet spot in your online choices, a place you know you can always find rest and leave refreshed.

I'm no Dr. Oz or some sideshow that claims to have all the answers to life. In a subtle way, I see myself as the kind of person that views the world - my everyday - like what this picture suggests: one man, one soul with one vantage point in the wild mountains, drinking in its beauty, mystery, and rawness through my own little camera lens. It's amazing the perspective that can come through that little lens, isn't it?
