more and more, i find myself becoming like the shy little puppy from the story i read as a child. i don't think it's correlated to increasing days on this planet, it's more that i despise more than soak in crowds. there is a certain satisfaction arising from knowing my dialogue with a dear soul has eternally impacted him or her that cannot be matched regardless of how many people i become acquainted with. indeed, for me popularity is NOT the be-all and end-all of everything. i find it hilarious, then, when people claim me to be something i'm not - i can't explain clusters, i just know my life has been greatly enriched by all those who have passed through and left priceless imprints. indeed it's those who don't claim to understand that actually do, while those who assume they know it all really haven't a clue. where AM i going with this...

wow, another year gone in only a matter of hours, and as soon as i'm done rambling here, i'll join with the 'masses' to ring in three hundred and sixty some more days of life. thank God for meaning. if it were routine only, i think i would have gone mad years ago. naturally, like most people, i haven't the slightest notion what path(s) i'll embark on, nor the options available, but i'm comforted because He knows. i anticipate self-induced flaws, but also new possibility and growth. it's not so much INTROspective as it is FAITH....and who knows? perhaps 2004 will finally be when He helps me conquer the beast!

HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!
