Little Windows

There is something about a window. It can be a barrier, keeping the world out or the danger in. Or it can be a portal, thin enough to press into and step through. They are snapshots of other places, or reflections of our own lives. Windows let us see into, and out of ourselves. They grant us light, and space, and yet keep us safe. Windows are gateways.

Which is what I need right now. A gateway into my own creativity, and a place to channel my ideas. This little blog is the first of many little steps I am trying to take that will put me on a path to creating new things. Being creative. A step towards doing, instead of thinking. As zefrank said, going from zero to one.

I have several ideas that for this blog that I'd like to turn into regular features here. I intend to start each of them in the next few days. I intend to take little steps towards making something new, expanding my creativity, and perhaps broadening my perspectives enough to see something new in my own life. Peek out through the blinds covering my window, and see the strange and beautiful world that is just on the other side.

Strange little things, windows. How they can be a portal and a barrier.
