This blog has been like a long-distance friendship for me. For the first few months, we keep up with each other just the same as before the distance inserted itself between us. Weekly posts, even daily posts are the norm. The hours of the day soon fill up with ordinary life and I start to feel the distance. I rationalize the uncharacteristic gap between contact as me just being busy. "I'm sure everyone is busy these days, anyway." Then one day, I wake up and realize that 3 silent months have gone by with no notice. That feeling has brought me back to this moment several times, and several times I have begun to write and have not finished.
This time is different. I lost track of what is, to me, the purpose of a blog. It started as a means of communication with family and friends out of necessity. Once that need was gone, I didn't replace that purpose with something else. Now, I have a purpose again.
The future of this blog will be devoted to any and all issues related to non-human animal welfare, animal rights, food, and the impossibly intricate connection between animals, nature, and humans.
keep it fresh...
