The Problem with Blogging

The thing about blogging is that someone almost always inevitably reads more into a post than I intended. I once had to delete my entire blog because one of my reader’s thoughts got carried away. That’s why my blog profile says I’ve been a member since 2004, but my posts only date back to 2006. I deleted the two years that I wrote prior to moving to Omaha.

So now I can see it happening again. No sooner did I write about my “psychic connection” to an ex-boyfriend then I can almost see the weeds starting to grow and choke other relationships. Not to worry. Honestly, I have this sort of “psychic connection” with almost everyone I know and care about. I just wrote about him as an example because it’s particularly strong with him, not because we’re closer than most, but because we both have a quality I haven’t been able to articulate yet. I’m not a Star Wars geek, but the best way I can put it is “the force is very strong with both of us”.

Sometimes I meet people who have no “force” at all. He is the first person I’ve ever met whose signal is strong. I have nothing to do with him having it. It was there when I met him. Our meeting was a coincidence of someone who is really “loud” (him) meeting someone who has a really sensitive “ear” (me).

One of my qualities as a "receiver" is that I hear and reflect back, the result of which is that people who are around me begin to develop their own abilities. So if you and I, dear reader, have never shared a thought or called each other when one of us was thinking about the other then we probably haven’t known each other long enough or well enough. But if you hang in there and relax, I’m sure we will.
