The Green Pigeon is a personal project where I try to tease out of my brain who I am and where i belong. So, much like a pigeon can home in on its place from hundreds of miles away, I would like to get back to where I truly belong. To do that, I want to cultivate an authentic identity in myself.
Throughout my whole life, I have long shied away from opening up about my self and letting people in. I have been disengaged in life and that has impacted my ability to connect to others on a deep level. I’m no sure if that is a consequence of lack of courage or complacency. In either case, not doing so affects quality of life and limits opportunities to grow and evolve.
This site is about baring my soul or just letting out what is on my mind. That could mean something trivial as sharing what I cooked for dinner and wanting to share the recipe. More often than not, I want to go deeper. But, the point is to do the downright scary; share my deepest thought with the world. To open myself up to show myself that is doesn’t need to be that scary.
I want this to become a starting point for more engagement with the world. Maybe this becomes an opportunity to give someone a new perspective or to gain a new friend. I don’t want this to be a place where people read a post and leave. Rather, I want this to be a place where people engage and discuss. To connect and share, and to find their own place if they’re not sure where theirs is either.
