The Experiment in Openness

Hi to the .00000047 percent of the world who are reading this.

First, this scares me to death.

The Scorpio in me is shitting his pants.

Having my whole life on a website for the world to see, to judge, to stalk, to envy, to make fun of, to know where I am and what I'm doing. As you can tell, openness is not my best trait.

But, in the little I know about the world, I know that openness and honesty can bring truth into your life. True friends, true relationships, true passion and maybe even true love.

In the effort to have more truth in my life, I am going to be open. With you.

Whether you a friend, co-worker, someone from the past who found my blog, family member, an ex-girlfriend, a fellow musician, or the parents of one of my guitar students, I, albeit uncomfortably, welcome you with openness. I hope you (maybe uncomfortably as well) would do the same.

I do not expect that this will lead me to being able to spill my inner most dreams and fears with the woman working at the diner, but I believe that anything you practice, you should get better at. Hence, this is the experiment.

I'm embarking on a road trip and am inviting you to come along. I'll be as open as possible about where we are, what we see, the folks we meet, the low times we have, and the high times we will look back to when we are back home. Care to join me?

  1. As a fellow Scorpio and also a deeply private person, I think you perhaps exaggerated your fear of openness for dramatic purposes.

    Anyway, I'm planning to come along, maybe not at the same time.
