In a month it will have been a year since I wrote why I hadn’t written in half a year. I’m thinking it’s really time to lay this site to rest. Over the years I’ve grown and changed, and my readership has shifted again and again. I’ve alienated and offended people. I’ve baffled and bemused. I’ve also scared, confused, touched, and, undoubtedly bored.

Though I have not chronicled it here, I have gone on growing and changing in the ensuing textual silence. A whole new chapter has begun in my life–more like a whole new volume after many new chapters have come and gone–one so new and so different as to be utterly incongruous with any old thread that I might pick up from here. It is a happy new chapter, the happiest of my adult life–well, really, of my life, period. So, you needn’t worry about my signing off. I am on to sweet new horizons.

My sincere thanks for all that I received from having done this-my own increase in personal clarity as well as the support and feedback that so many people have given me over the years through this medium. I’m grateful for all the doors that were opened to me through my efforts here, even if I never did quite step through many of them.

I have no desire to be any kind of a public figure, a writer or a blogger or anything else, as I fade into my life of delicious ordinariness–filled with love and art and beauty and growth.

Wish me luck, and please know that I sincerely wish you well.
