Well, 2007 is done. For those of you that remember, I said that I would write a poem everyday for the entire 2007 year. It only seems natural that I would take this time to see how I did.
106 poems.
It's not like the other 259 poems were virtually stolen. I knew that I slacked off in those summer months. But not one bit of me is disappointed. I'm reminded of Pascal's "The Wager", in which he states that if one thinks that God exists, he will live his life in accordance with that belief in hopes of being worthy of being in his presence. But if in the end God does not exist, he loses nothing and has a good life, regardless.
I am horribly paraphrasing.
So my goal was not actualized, but the process became the goal. I've come to know so much more about myself as a person, woman and writer. And I plan to write more. I find so much joy in it.
