BenTwig Takes a Leap...

I welcome all to a decision that I have been conflicted with making for some time now, that of, should I or shouldn't I publish my journal writings here amongst the tangled weaves and wonders of the blogisphere? Obviously I have decided in the affirmative but it is with great caution I begin this journey, as I have found that many of my writings challenge the status quo and can, at times, be in direct conflict with popular beliefs. I will warn those that subscribe themselves to be unchanging, that this may not be for you but I encourage all to participate within, what I hope will become, conversations that need conversing.

As this is my first post, I will extend to you that I expect a certain level of respect between individuals here, within the tattering knocks and knicks of my tree, but understand fully the sways and force of passionate discourse; I only remind all that though we may differ in beliefs, degradation and defamation are, at all times, in direct opposition to progression and peace.

Thank you so much and so it begins BenTwig's takes a leap...

The Introduction

Look though I be before you with clenched fists, gritting teeth and an unwavering stare upon thee, that my hands be empty, my words be passionate and my seeing eyes beyond that which confronts us. For it is within these moments that I wish us both to leave, either embraced in friendship or in a handshake signifying only one truth, that we continue on, to either encounter again or teach of a moments past, beyond our present company.

Look though my hands be empty, they hold all and nothing, as do yours, both to have and keep faithful unto themselves as they are onto others.

Look though my eyes close, they hold all and nothing, as do yours, both to have and keep faithful to see further than there is to be seen.

Look though my words be silenced, they hold all and nothing, as do yours, both to have and keep faithful the vigilance of civility and progress.

Look though I be seen, I see you as well and await your approach.

Thank you,

Benjamin Twig
