Seize the Carp
So this is it - I have succumbed to temptation, seized the day, and signed away my life as I knew it. And quite enjoyed, I haste to add. Reader, I have joined the Bloggers of the Round Table.
Just like that - on dry land of anti-blogging superiority one day, and next a virtual (as it were) leap of faith into the deep and murky waters of blogosphere, where you either sink or swim.
Maybe bacause the older I get, the more I feel, with Rilke, that the purpose of life is to get defeated by greater and greater things, that I don't mind where this blogging takes me as long as I get to meet some silver fish of insight in the deep. And have some fin along the way. (Sorry, I cannot resist a pun when I see one swimming towards me).
Hence no fear. Neither of failure nor its trecherous twin - success, for they are both creatures of the Ego. And if the blog becomes my whole world, and the whole world becomes something just to be mined for bloggable material, so be it.
P.S. More about that noble fish - carp - and its place in Polish Christmas tradition, to follow.
