Pic of the day: A lot of things happened the past half year as well. Sorry.

I'm back! Sort of.

Because I have not said all the words that should be spoken, before they are lost forever. So I had to return. The story of my life is not yet complete.

Almost needless to say, I decided on that particular re-introduction before I checked the year-ago entry, which is set in a fictive future, nine years from now, in which I have finally said all the words. And, as I admit there, many more besides.

I don't plan to update every day anymore, but probably not to skip half a year either. A lot of things did happen, although they were all small things. I took a lot of notes, I even wrote drafts, but that was it. Perhaps I will go back and insert entries based on those notes. Perhaps not. It certainly won't fill every day, probably not even week.

I should write shorter and less often, as a friend told me many years ago: "Better many short letters than no long ones." And also, to not say so many words that don't need to be spoken. After all, "men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken." (The Gospel according to Matthew, chapter 12, verse 36.) I've known this for years, but obviously not really believed it.

I'm speaking even less now in "real life", only a few minutes a day normally, since my job rarely needs more than that anymore. I still don't talk on my free time. Who should I talk to, and about what? But perhaps - unlikely, but perhaps - one day there will be someone who want to know what I learned during this brief fluttering through the garden of life. Here we go again.
