Post-nuptial nuggets

In starting a new stage in life my first personal task has been to rekindle myself with the old… get back to my roots… my internal constituents. I feel my best chance at maintaining my well-being (and sanity during Bar prep) is to start writing again. I used to write constantly. Maybe 4-5 passages a day. Always penning my thoughts in hopes of finding…. anything – clarity, silence, sanctuary – or nothing. So this is my canvas. My chance to open up, delight in words, and share with you (what I hope to be) insights on anything from the goings-on of the day to flares of my randomness and neuroses. Stay tuned for further developments and please feel free to leave comments. For now I leave you with one of my favorite quotes demonstrating the power of words:

“Just as some medicines eliminate one humor from the body, and other medicines another, and some free from disease while others take away life, so do some words grieve, others cheer, others frighten, others enflame, while others, with effectively malign persuasion poison and bewitch the soul.”
King Lear, William Shakespeare
