May 14, 2026 - I can only say that on this particular day I have said "wow" about eleventeen times since 6:17 am. I have just stumbled upon this blogspot by some serendipitous hyperlink recently on my Facebook page, a page I from which I recently took a hiatus, and - while I haven't quite re-read these nearly 20-year-old posts - I cannot help but feel the Universe is not conspiring against me, but, rather gently, forcing me to take a look.
A good, long look.
"Wow" doesn't even begin to express it; for someone who wasn't exactly at a loss for words 17-18 years ago, I am dumbfounded, left in a freeze-frame of jaw dropping that these remnants of my "Patchwork" still remain - and I'm not quite sure what to say.
But I will say this: I enjoy writing. Whether it's considered good or not is subjective, but for my own ego's sake I'll say I'm rather pleased with my writing...such as I've had a chance to review so far, anyway. Whether I'm fully prepared to go down memory lane to catch up, well...that may take a moment to absorb. To put in context. Perhaps reframe.
There is quite a LOT to catch up on, gentle reader (odd how that term now invokes shades of Julie Andrews' voiceovers in the Bridgerton series). A LOT. Many cycles, planetary, lunar and otherwise. Many releases, some invited, some imposed, all of them permanent. But of most importance, the many many many renewals that have been experienced.
And there's the rub: who is "Patch" now? Do enquiring minds wanna know?
Well, whether you like it or not, heeeeeeeeere's Johnny. I'm back.
Dolly'll never go away again (so long as the link works, lol).
