I'm going to use this space to document life's goings-on. There are probably blogging rules that say you should limit the scope of your blog, but I don't think there's one category of my life that could fill an entire blog. Besides, my life is all about exploring different ways to express myself in this world, and I want to capture that here.
I've been trying to think about how to organize my ramblings, and the answer popped out at me this morning from a passage in my current book:
(Lata, the protagonist, is seeing her best friend, Malati, for the first time since summer break)
'I've had enough of myself for awhile, and I want to hear something different. What's your news?'
'What sort of news do you want?' asked Malati. 'Intellectual, physical, political, spiritual, or romantic?'
These categories pretty well sum me up! A few slight modifications though:
- I may occasionally mention political matters, but not often enough to warrant a separate label. Political thoughts will be lumped under the intellectual heading.
- As a married woman, I'll keep life's romantic tidbits off the web, thank you very much. I'm going to replace this category with 'sensual,' to cover food, music, art, etc.
- One piece of my life not captured by the above is my social experiences - being with Justin, friends, family. This is a dimension of myself that I often let fall to the bottom of the list. Perhaps all the more reason to document it here.
And so it begins! I know christen thee, new blog, as the vessel of my quest to balance the intellectual, physical, spiritual, sensual, and social.
