I am not a writer – at least I don’t think of myself as one. I am not a prodigious a reader, though it’s preferable to the former — or just easier, I suppose! I have edited other’s work over the years and thought about making a career of that, at one point. But today I’m wrestling too-long-bottled frustration with current cultural and political life. I need to vent, over this virtual page, other ideas and perspectives — to give some counterpoint to the all-too-lopsided rants. Perhaps you’ll find something to share around your conversation circles.
Après cinquante is French for “after 50,” right where I find myself these days! Thinking broadly about achievement, goals and purpose. Maybe I have reached some wiser stage of life or maybe I am an old version of a young adult self? In any case, you’ll tune in or out my ramblings. If you do check back from time to time, I hope you’ll find it occasionally worthwhile.
à tout à l’heure,
Leslie
