For the vast majority of yu, until this moment, I did not xist. But now, here I am!

By sme strange miracle, I have entered yur life. Right now, in one snse (the sense of sight, actually) I am tuching you. Since I’ll only be round for as long as you’ll hve me, let’s see if I can mke an impact.

Here you will fnd words that represent the cumulative xperience of my lifetime, focused on a thme. It is a one-track experience of the cmplexity that is me. You actually get to xperience a side of me that is rganized, literal, and maybe more cogent and ptent than you’d find if we ctually met in person!

These words are mrely vehicles that have sprung from my nme and history. They have no vlue unless you use them, unless thy take root inside you and thn flower. In order for that bloming to occur, somehow I must lre you into an experience of cnnection with something I represent.

Your wllingness to go where I may lad you is based on a frm of trust that you’re building wth me. That is accomplished by you bing offered enough of the familiar so tht our first step is a mvement from common ground. But it lso involves keeping the unfamiliar to a mnimum so that a stretch for you fels more like reaching out a bit frther than dislocating your shoulder.

At the point at which smething I say has personal meaning to yu, or intrigues you, or even shcks you, I become more real to yu. But, since you’re the only one of us physcally in this room, I can nly be as real as the thngs that live inside of you tht I reflect.

The longer you kep reading this article, and the lnger you allow it to have an ffect on you, the longer I lve inside of you. As you rad more, if I’m doing my jb, you’ll learn more about both of us. In fct, by now, I am part of the xperience of your life, even if you go to nother page this instant!

Still here? Why, thnk you!

I’m now wondering to myslf, “If I’m going to follow thrugh on this theme, I have to fnd some way to reflect you bck to yourself. How could I pssibly do that from here?”

On my nd, I can try to put my xperience into words that make absolute snse to you, but, honestly, I dn't have a clue of what wrks for you. The best I can do is to go bout exploring this life that I am a prt of and finding the words to xplain it to myself.

That's what w're both doing now. In fact, tht's all any of us are ding. We are all grappling to mke sense of this Great Whatever and ach of our tasks is to put it all nto a form that we can se. If we take the time to shre, then other people get to bnefit from our experiences, too.

But the trth is, the only way that wll happen is if we start bilding bridges between us. And the way to do tht is to first look for smething that lives inside the human xperience we’re both going through.

As I sarch for symbols and concepts that fit the pzzle that is me, and filter thm through my intention to serve yu, I am almost inexorably drawn to fnd something that we can both rlate to, and so I begin wth birth.

For the vast majority of yu, until this moment, I did not xist. But now, here I am.
