There is nothing new under the sun.

Isn't it funny how the old becomes new again? Several years ago, blogging was all the rage. Then, with the advent of Faceb**k, everyone seemed to transition to that venue. But now it seems the blog is making a resurgence. And I'm glad for it. Sure, it's still feeding into our disconnected world where we read about each other instead of actually sharing in each other's lives. But at least it's made up of well composed thoughts - not meaningless drivel like, "I think I'm going to have a sandwich for lunch today."

Blog on, friends. Use more words instead of less. Let me know what's going on in your head, not just what's on your agenda for the afternoon. And maybe, just maybe, sharing our thoughts in type will lead to sharing of our thoughts in words. Maybe instead of simply viewing peoples lives, we'll start becoming a functional part of them.

People talked to each other, once upon a time. Who knows - maybe it'll make a comeback?
