The hobgoblin of little minds

One of the marks of virtue is the ability to do well consistently. So clearly I remain far from virtue – at least, the virtue of blogging – myself.

Still, it is my goal. I aim to post two or three times a week, not counting the Daily Inventories which I have neglected lately. And it’s not that I have nothing to say. On the contrary! I have too much to say, and I’m afraid that if I sit down to blog I’ll end up neglecting my other obligations. I’ve done that too often in the past.

But writing is in fact one of my priorities. I’ve mentioned that one of my great desires is to be able to support myself financially by writing. That’s hard to do if I don’t write anything.

So I’m re-examining some of my priorities, and the practical means of pursuing them.

Today, I have to go into the office. But I should have tomorrow and Friday off, so I’m planning to air my thoughts – on my own questions and on goings-on in the world – over the next couple days. In the meantime, I am grateful for your readership and your input. You have been very helpful to me! I only pray that, by writing about my own process, I can be helpful to you as well.
