To anyone who has missed seeing entries here, if anyone has missed them, I apologize. The severe flu that has been going around this year, or something like it, finally struck me. It has been a long time since I was so sick, perhaps not since I contracted mononucleosis in high school. Not only was it impossible to sit at the computer for more than a few minutes, but my mood gradually deteriorated over the entire two weeks until my interest in all things, including the blog, utterly vanished.

Now, fortunately, I am feeling better. A bit chagrined at having sunk so low after weeks of touting spiritual enlightenment, but whether you call my condition ‘bipolar disorder’, ‘chronic depression’, or just moodiness, it evidently far outstrips in vitality whatever transcendence I had attained. Given the opportunity of my feeling physically ill, the demons defeated the angels within days. So I’m back at the beginning, facing once again the task of reaching that point of consciousness where life makes complete sense. Whether I can get back there is not at all certain, but the alternative path—staying in a funk—is unacceptable.

The fact that I’m finally writing again, even if just briefly, is a good sign and an indication that I’m trying. I will try to get something longer posted soon.
