Kyla, hello again.
You do give welcome to the self-doubting self....and it feels good, although a little scary, to be here. Writing private emails is one things, this is so public. But isn't that what it's all about? Who can I be but myself, even here?
In some ways, having done some professional writing helps, because you always have a "voice" in even journalistic pieces, and expose yourself that way. This of course is much more intimate and self-revelatory, but what the heck.

I suspect nearly everyone is shy at bottom...all those issues of possible rejection and judgement (and not all are fictive, either) but...how can you be fully present without risk? Don't think you can.

So my as-of-yet unenlightened self is here, for any eyes and any responses. ALl you other shy pre- 2nd-birthers, I personally welcome you to join me in this electronic dance we're doing here. I do know Being holds us all exactly as we are...so let's share ourselves as we are.
