Introducing Myself (and this blog)

I cannot say that I’m the Little Prince or the Fox. I’m both at once: a restless explorer seeking friends across lands and continents, eager to learn continuously; a small wild creature, desirous of finding friends to play with but also wary of cold-hearted hunters. 

Maybe I’m at odds with the world I live in, with its focus on “busyness”, with the value given to work/workaholism; or maybe I just haven’t found the places or communities where I could fit. 

I believe in friendship and freedom, bonding without binding: in deep, meaningful connections and mutual support but without stifling ties. Somehow, though, most of the time I seem to get into situations or relationships where freedom and refusal of rigid ties is interpreted as lack of commitment or lack of care. Maybe this is the “usual old conundrum” of confusing interdependence and independence?!??

So for me this blog is a way to find a voice, find my voice, and hopefully find other voices that resonate with mine, that can harmonize and sing along with mine: a place to safely and respectfully share thoughts and feelings, viewpoints and emotions, experiences and expressions.
