Hello world!

This is but one more voice in a vast sea of web commentary. Like others, I often wonder at the volume of  thoughts I will never be able to appropriately convey because I remained mute to so many moments of expression. A spirit may have been lifted, a stranger helped, a little light shone into darkness, had I not been victimized by self-imposed silence. 

The world grows more complex by the day. It is a cacophony of self-interest, greed, and malice. And, if it is not the world we have made, it is certainly the one we have inherited, bruises, warts, and all. Those who care  understand that we can no longer remain on the sidelines leaving the things we hold dear at the mercy of the tone deaf. There are miles to go before we can sleep and fall silent.
