I’ve been giving some thought to this blog.
With the end of the Camino, and the return to a full-time job, my blog has suffered from my lack of attention. But not lack of love.
I feel grateful for the memories and photos stored on these virtual pages. I love that on any given day, I can go to this website and click on a date from my pilgrimage and immediately be drawn right back onto the Camino path. In addition, I appreciate the outlet this blog has provided as I work through thoughts on faith, life, and vision loss.
Sometimes I wonder if it’s too much, having a blog that talks about such specific and different topics – the Camino, my faith, my vision loss, etc. – all in one place. Would it be better if to have separate blogs for each category, so that people who are interested in the Camino, for example, don’t have to weed through random posts on singleness or the Advent season to get the information they want?
Perhaps…
But, thinking it through, I realize that separating these posts into their own blogs wouldn’t be true to who I am, or how I process things. The fact is, all of these “topics” coexist within me, so why not have them coexist in one blog?
There’s probably a better way to organize it all, and maybe on some rainy day I’ll figure out a new set-up to help Camino people find Camino posts easily, while the Retinitis Pigmentosa people can go straight to my adventures with the cane. Or maybe readers don’t mind stumbling over one to get to the other, and I should just let it all grow together, like some wild and beautiful garden.
In the end, I think it’s safe to say that I’ll keep the blog. I like having it. My posts may be scattered, and it’s anyone’s guess which topic will plant and blossom next, but that’s okay. It’s mine. That’s who I am.
Thanks for reading.
