"We are at our most revealing to ourselves, when we fail"
Said I think by Adam Phillips, Psychoanalyst when discussing his book 'On a life not lived.'
Getting a blog up and running is certainly testing me to my limit, and revealing to me how helplessly child like I become in the face of difficulties with new technology.
Even spelling the word 'technology' because of dyslexia was a mine field, and I had to try various routes in order to get any where near the proximate spelling of it. Here again I wanted to abandon that word and find another way of saying what I wanted to say.
Not only am I grappling with the question of whether 'Blogging' serves any purpose, but I am acutely aware, especially when I fail !!
Is how much time this all takes !
Have Ithaka always in your mind.
Your arrival there is what you are destined for.
But don't in the least hurry the journey.
Better it last for years.
So that when you reach the island you are old,
Rich with all you have gained on the way.
C.P. Cavafy 'Ithaka'
