And now, for something different...

Ya know, most of what I post at LiveJournal tends to be fandom-related in one way, shape or form. This is where I have the most contact with my Tolkien fandom friends, and where I can keep up with their comings and goings and, occasionally, let them get up to date with mine. This is the first blogging site (outside the blog I had on a defunct personal site years ago) that I've kept at consistently.

However, there is another facet of my life which hasn't had much air-time at all. I am and have always been very interested in spiritual matters and discussions. As many of you know, I am a non-Christian (Buddhist) with a substantial history of participation in Interfaith discussions (and debates, unfortunately) in the days before the Internet. This side of my personality has been somewhat subsumed for various reasons, but is now starting to re-emerge as important again.

Perhaps it's the influence of fidesquaerens, with her philosophical postings here and on FaceBook, that has given me the intestinal fortitude to do this, I dunno. But the sum and substance of it is that I have set up another blog on WordPress under my real name to hold my posts of a more spiritual/philosophical/Buddhist flavor. No doubt I'll sometimes rant or crow over there too - altho' I'd like to think that I'll restrict that kind of activity to here (since most of my rantings tend to be fandom-related.)

But for anyone who has even the slightest interest, my blog is called "A Pause To Consider." Leave comments, if you are so inclined...

I studied Buddhism at college and have a great respect for it.
