This morning I was just finishing Godwriting, and an idea for a blog entry came to me. I wasn’t trying to think of something to write today. The idea just popped up by itself.

But first I had to send today’s written Heavenletter to Theophil and Heaven Admin for safekeeping. I couldn’t possibly lose this great idea for today’s blog entry, could I?

No, of course not, yet, in the interim, I did.

It had occurred to me to just go to the blog and come back to send out the Heavenletter written today after I wrote the blog, but then I thought I might forget all about it. So, in a sense, I made the decision to let go of the thought that had arisen.  I am eager to know what the idea was, and I would like to know how I could so quickly lose the thought, as quickly as it had come.

But, ah, it just came back! Sometimes lost thoughts are found! Maybe it was virtuous of me to send out the Heavenletter first, and now I am being rewarded, or, maybe, I just simply remembered.

So, quickly now, I will write it down. This was my thought:

It seems we are all eager to share our thoughts. When something good happens, we want to tell someone. And when something we don’t want to have happen happens, we then also want to tell someone. This seems like an important human need. Was this ever spoken of before?

I do remember when I used to do Philosophy of Language with my junior high school classes, one of the points was: Man everywhere is a creature who speaks. But now that thought had widened for me.

It was Heaven Admin who had suggested that I write a blog. As soon as he suggested it, I knew I wanted to. Would I have ever thought of it myself — I don’t know. In the process of writing, I discovered how much I wanted to share my every thought, how I craved it, how it was a basic need.

With some exceptions, I never had anyone to really really talk to. I didn’t have anyone to tell my every thought to, to tell someone everything that’s going on, someone whose advice I wanted to listen to, or someone who cared to hear my every thought. I am sure I’m not the only one who didn’t have someone to really speak their hearts to.

So I started to think, as I finished up today’s Godwriting, that blogs were born to fulfill this human need to share our thoughts, our every thought.

And so I am sharing mine now.
