The World Through the Eyes of a Blogger...

... is different from a world through the eyes of those who glide through their days without leaving written evidence of their day-to-day existence. This Nobel-prize worthy truth dawned on me for the following reason:

I had no internet connection at home for September and since blogging in the office is a no-no I was temporarily expelled from Blogland. After a few days of not writing I became aware that I completely stopped "collecting material" too. I didn't feel the need to pick up on small gestures, feelings, interesting, funny or annoying happenings of my life that later could serve as a decent starting point for the day's writing. I went through the entire month of September in a state of indifference to details, which is not something a Blogger ever should do! I noticed a difference in my life: when writing my blog I force myself to notice the small beauties of the world as if observing everything around me through a pair of binoculars. Without my binoculars though (or rather, blogoculars) September will forever disappear in my wastebasket of memories as a crumpled sheet of paper with blurred ink blots.
