C.S. Lewis and Blogging

"Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another:

What! You too?

I thought I was the only one."

C. S. Lewis

This is a wonderful truth for me-

in the world of blogging.

Two reasons come to mind.


Reason #1

  There is nothing better than realizing, as C.S. Lewis states,

that someone

gets it-

gets you-

feels the same way-

and understands-

your humor and your purpose.


What joy that is…


For example,

White Spray Paint ,

is an acquired taste

I think.

I like thinking of my blog as

that quirky shop on the edge of town,

that you may occasionally frequent .


It is

-out of the way

-has odd hours

- is sometimes open, sometimes closed

-has quirky inventory

-and a funky owner,

who may seem distracted,

but is always glad to see you.

Thank you for getting it and getting me.

Reason #2

  In blogging particularly,

with the wonders of internet technology,

we take turns

when we speak to each other.
There are no interruptions in

sharing our thoughts and ideas,

whether innermost or not.


For all intents and purposes,

everyone

is listening quietly and intently.


That is a precious gift that is hard to find

in today’s world.

This builds the best kind of sincere communication.

The mutual kind.

Thank you for that and for

‘listening’

to me.
