MY RETURN TRIP TO BLOGLAND.

Sunday morning has arrived, still draped in dark coolness. But it carries the promise of another crisp, sunny fall day. I keep watch on my Red Maples, a few leafs drift from the trees but the blazing color I love so has not arrived.

I have been on a self imposed exile from Blogland.I have went to the edge, looked in, searching the darkness for a sign I belonged in this vast cyberland. And everyday I turned away. Today along with my trusty pocket full of words I have come back. I walked boldly in. I finger the words. A little doubt sets in. I shake it off. Once again, how many times has it been now that I've said this? I'm back.

I worry a little about myself. I have come to believe Blogland is a real town. Oh I know the Shady Tree Rest Home van is probably parked right around the corner. Waiting to scoop me up. If not I look for my kids to call them at anytime. But rest assured they are going to have a heck of a time getting me into that van. I'll be the lady hanging on to the door screaming, "H--l no I won't go." But regardless I look on Blogland as a real place. A door into cyberspace.

In my mind I have painted a street, a store building with a plate glass window. Even one lonely stop light that flashes red all the time. I come to this place with my words in hopes of finding a lasting place for each of them. Blogland is full of words. Some funny, some strange, some sad. They are brought and deposited here by people who have something to say. And sometimes the case is they have nobody to hear them. So we come, my fellow Bloggers. In hopes are words will fall on kindly ears and find approval.

So this is what I have done this morning. Said alot to say a little. No rythmn or reason to the words this morning. No story, no wisdom. Just my words and when I leave them here at the curb in Blogland I will leave behind a small part of me. My silly self. But for now I turn to go. I'm singing to myself as I walk. "Me and my shadow." sure hope my shadow never leaves. I'll really feel alone. But for now. I'm outta here.
