THANK YOU . . .

** HELLO AND HAPPY NEW YEAR . . AND THANK YOU SO MUCH, FOR READING ANYTHING I HAVE POSTED HERE ON OCEANICA IONICA, HAVING EITHER WRITTEN MYSELF OR HAVING HUMBLY BORROWED FOR HOPEFULLY THE BENEFIT OF AS MANY GOOD FOLKS AS POSSIBLE, THOSE WHO ARE CLOSE TO OR AS HUNGRY FOR THE TRUTH AND ITS WIDESPREAD DISSEMINATION AS I AM.
I HAVE BEEN AWAY FOR A WHILE, BOTH PHYSICALLY AND PSYCHOLOGICALLY, AND ASIDE FROM THE TIME I HAVE SPENT AWAY OVER THE COURSE OF THE PAST TWO MONTHS, MOSTLY TAKING CARE OF AN AILING MOTHER, I HAVE ALSO BEEN PREOCCUPIED WITH OTHER THINGS, LARGELY THE SORT OF THINGS THAT HELP TO PAY THE BILLS. UNFORTUNATELY, I HAVE NOT HAD MUCH TIME TO DEDICATE TO THIS SMALL CORNER OF THE WORLD . . .
BUT I HAVE POPPED BACK IN - TO SINCERELY THANK ANYONE WHO MAY ACTUALLY LIKE READING ANYTHING THAT IS TO BE FOUND HERE, AND TO SAY THAT I WILL BE ACTUALLY DEDICATING A SET AMOUNT OF TIME FROM NOW ON, PER WEEK, TO THIS PAGE, IN THE HOPES THAT IT WILL EVENTUALLY BECOME MORE THAN SIMPLY A PERSONAL REPOSITORY / STORAGE SPACE FOR ISSUES, ARTICLES, AND SUBJECTS OF INTEREST, EITHER PAST OR CURRENT, AND GROW . . INTO SOMETHING THAT MIGHT ACTUALLY BE OF HELP TO OTHERS, SINCE THAT'S WHAT IS, AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN, MY MAIN MOTIVATING FORCE WHEN IT COMES TO ART / CREATION OF ANY KIND, WHETHER IT BE PAINTING, MUSIC, AND OF COURSE WRITING - THE GOAL IS TO SOMEHOW HELP - TO SHARE, TO HEAL, TO TEACH, TO INSPIRE, OR TO ENLIGHTEN . . .
I APOLOGIZE FOR MY ABSENCE . . BUT STARTING SOON, I WILL BE POSTING ON A MUCH MORE REGULAR BASIS, AS OPPOSED TO JUST 'WHENEVER' I FEEL LIKE IT. THERE IS SO MUCH THAT BELONGS HERE, THAT IT'S REALLY MORE THAN ONE PERSON CAN HANDLE, UNLESS THEY WERE TO DEVOTE 100% OF THEIR TIME TO MANAGING IT. WHICH JUST MIGHT HAPPEN ONE DAY . . .
ANYWAY, I'M GETTING AHEAD OF MYSELF . . THANKS AGAIN, AND SEE YOU SOON . . . **
