How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand.

In many respects I have always felt like Maria.

Shuddup. I don't mean I want to be a girl. I mean, for most of my life I have felt like a round peg in a square hole.

It is never more evident than when I try to write an article about my opinion on just about anything. For example, I've been trying to write a blog about my opinion on climate change for months. It has gone through dozens of revisions and I'm just not happy with it.

What I'm starting to realize is that writing blogs about opinions is very hard, at least it is for me.

Problem #1 - my opinion on global warming, or any other subject for that matter, is a fluid thing; it keeps changing.

Problem #2 - opinions, by definition, are controversial. I've PO'd enough people in my life already, I'm not particularly fond of adding to the list.

Problem #3 - it takes a lot of words to formulate and defend an opinion. Blog entries seem like such small containers for such large objects.

So instead I'm just going to write down my thoughts and observations in manageable chunks. Points to ponder, if you will.

I'm just going to be like Maria. I'm just going to be me.
