post 278: click to unwrap

I received this beautiful comment on post 277:

Oh, this is lovely. I've been reading your journal for a while (even back in the "boy with glasses" days--how wonderfully fall that feels! if that makes sense to you), and it so often makes me smile. I, too, am a fan of those sweet small moments. Please don't delete your journal after you're done! I'm sad to see you go, already (can you be convince otherwise?), and not having any of this to look back on would be so sad.

And this one a while back:

OH Elaine. This makes me so sad. I understand your reasons - but I will miss hearing about your life. I will miss reading about your interactions with people in your life. I will miss watching you continue to blossom.

I will miss you.

Thank you. Wow, two people, not including me, care about this blog. You and Het have taken the time to comment and that means so much to me. It's a beautiful gift, if clicking on a link can be compared to unwrapping a present. "the boy with glasses" days seem so long ago. has it really been two years?

I've made a decision. And I'm going to tell you a secret--just for you, dear faithful readers:

I won't delete this blog. I'll let it linger through the interwebs. Maybe some lucky person will find it, read it, be inspired by life, love, and all that is good.

Here's the secret: I'm moving on from "till human voices wake us", and instead, I'll be writing in a new blog, one that I've already started and kept secret from you. It's still a Blogger blog, but I got a new domain name, a different username, and I'm no longer "Prufrock". That blog will be revealed in my last post here. I'm closing the chapter "till human voices wake us" and starting a new one. "till human voices wake us" has shown how much can happen in two years--change, growth, and so many other beautiful things. It's only natural to move on and start somewhere fresh and new, like a new piece of paper.

All three reasons for leaving (seen in Aug. 18. 2006 post) still apply but with different meanings:
1. It's time. Because it really is time to leave "till human voices wake us".
2. Let go. Because I do have to let go of this blog by not writing in it anymore and letting it stand on its own. This is the first chapter written--the second one is on its way.
3. Love. Because I love you, and I would hate to leave you like this by deleting everything about me. I want you to remember me. How can you remember me if I delete this blog? I also want you to love others still like I stated before.

So, faithful reader, stick around for there is no end in sight. And for new readers, I hope you will join me for this wonderful journey.

With all the love in the universe,
Elaine
