Our Red Thread to China


Taking a Break

I’m tired of writing about the paper chase, so I’m taking a break. I’ll finish recounting our paper-chasing adventures later.

In writing this blog, I’ve come to realize that this isn’t strictly for our future daughter. For one, the audience I have in mind as I’m writing this is definitely an adult. I’m really dealing with concepts that are far too abstract and advanced for anyone younger. So maybe I’m writing this for her in her late teens or early twenties.

Maybe not, though. Sometimes, my mental audience is clearly the people who are reading this today, June 25, 2006.

The plan I’m toying with now is to continue working on this blog in a more traditional manuscript form over the course of several years. I can flesh parts out, change my emphasis, and write and rewrite history to my heart’s content. Someday, maybe I’ll give her that manuscript. Or part of it. Or maybe not any of it.

Thoughts of a dry brain in a dry season.

Not so dry a brain—certainly makes sense to me….the idea I think is to make her feel that she was loved throughout and well desired—however that is expressed!
