Reader-friend! I wish I could produce some great excuse for not writing all year but, alas, I have none - save the same lame excuse we all rely upon when we don't do what we love. 'I've been busy.'
Beyond the busy I've been sort of self-conscious about writing too - aware that what currently consumes me is nowhere near as fantastic as what kept me busy when I last wrote consistently. At least, that is what a glance at surface circumstances would suggest. I have learned that it's simple to find the exotic in the mundane, the sacred in the profane, the extraordinary in the ordinary (and vice versa). It's simply a matter of perspective - of what we choose to see.
Circumstantially I am still in Miami, as I was 6 months ago, except now I'm no longer a South Florida vagabond careening between Hialeah, Westchester, Coral Gables and Juno Beach. Now I have a home! And a bed, and a room of my own! Simple things can make such meaningful differences.
My words, today, are sparse, so I'll leave you with some shots I've captured this year - the surface of my community, Miami. I'll leave it up to you to choose what you see... mundane, profane, ordinary... or otherwise.
