But... I am writing a blog, you are reading it; part of the reason I started writing it was to share our experiences, our failings, our hopes, and our prospective and REAL changes. These are the small wonders of life that we have seen, enacted, been part of, formed community around, and most likely failed horribly (in our OWN perception about); and that that is Nothing.
