When there is nothing left to say.

What do you say when there’s nothing left to say? Nothing, I suppose. I was reading Colin Jago’s blog, Photostream. His last post was entitled Silence Is Golden, where he talks about how his blog was always just an experiment and that now that experiment is over, he’s letting his domain name expire and moving onto other things. I cannot recall if Colin ever posted a comment here. I believe that he did, but I don’t remember. I know that he posted some at Paul Butzi’s blog, though. I probably posted a few comments on his blog, certainly less than 10, but I did read it most every time that he made a post.

Things come and go, people, relationships, ‘stuff’ that we own, blogs, etc. I know that one day I’ll stop doing this blog, but for now, I still have plenty to say … I think. At this point in life, things are changing so rapidly and I continue to use my photography along with a healthy dose of reading to try understand the true nature of myself; so, since I don’t limit this blog to strictly photographic topics, I’ll have lots to talk about as I continue to learn.

Thinking back, there are a few blogs that popped up in my head when Colin was ending his blog. These were blogs that I used to visit regularly and enjoyed, but they no longer exist. They’ve moved on.

• Native Flavaz by Ndiginiz: This blog was based in New Zealand. I remember the author, Ndiginiz, used to visit here. Each one of his comments would start with Tena koe ehoa. I never knew what that meant. The interesting thing is that if you search for that phrase on Google, you’ll only find a lot of his comments across various blogs! I really liked visiting his blog and looking at his moody photos.
• John – A Journey Not A Destination – For the life of me, I cannot could not remember John’s last name or the name of his blog, but a little bit of database querying solved that!; however, I do remember that he had a blog dealing mostly with Taoism or Taoist thought. I used to enjoy reading his blog. I’ve searched my archives looking for his name, but haven’t found it. I guess that it doesn’t matter. He’s off doing different things, now.
• Micki – We still stay in contact via e-mail. She was one of the first people to place a comment on my blog. She still will post a comment on occasion. I used to love to visit her blog and read about her adventures and laugh about all of the critters that she had around, especially her refrigerated toad. LOL!

Anyway, it’s fun to make new discoveries, hang out for a while, and then be able to let go. Good luck on your future endeavors, Colin.
