It’s been a while since I’ve last blogged. That is the longest gap since I began blogging on July 13, 2004. Almost 3 years now. Wouldn’t it be neat if I came up with some cute or witty reasons as to why there is such a long pause? But I won’t. Maybe there is nothing cute or witty about it or maybe I don’t feel the need to answer the question “why�.
On a different note the most redemptive aspect of my life over the past 3 years has been the existence of true friendship. There have been so many friends I’ve found I can count on. No matter the swirling circumstances they can be counted on to just be there. Lights in the dark night. I truly hope that as you read this you can say the same thing.
Maybe I will post again in the coming weeks or the next half year…I’m still here, just quieter.

I’ve often thought about the quiet that can pass between two who are good friends. There is the awkward silence quiet, the kind where there’s something hanging in the air between the two, and it’s unresolved and both are somewhat afraid of saying the wrong thing at the wrong time, and so both reserve speech, perpetuating the quiet and isolating themselves further from each other.
Then there’s the other kind of quiet, the good quiet. The kind of quiet that comes when you know you can be comfortable in the presence of another without having to speak. The kind of quiet that reminds you that the other person can still know you even in your silence, can still care and, in a sense, read into your quiet to see what else is going on.
So whether the quiet lasts long, or ends quickly, I’ll be here listening.
