New Year Indeed

I've been able to come out with various scattered writings, many of them probably rehashes of older ideas, and probably not very good pieces either, but oh well. I still feel the need to write and express these ideas and get them down.

I'm facing this state of affairs because I'm currently doing many things at once. I've taken to learning programming, and learning more about working with the earth and simpler technologies, on top of working to pay the bills, and maintain all of my other skills such as writing, reading, and making music, lest they atrophy. This is all on top of maintaining various relationships, helping maintain a collective living space, taking care of various animals, putting in the necessary exercise, nutrition, and meditation to maintain sanity, and etc.

Feeling a bit strained, but hopefully growing nonetheless. I probably won't have a whole lot to contribute, and the quality of said contributions may be less than what I hope, but I have some other pieces I'm mulling over at the moment, so there's that.

Programming especially entails learning to think a completely different way than I have been, which itself may very well produce some interesting philosophy. We'll see.
