Hello world!

After a bit of fiddling around, but not as much as I had expected, I’ve got WordPress set up on my site. It really is close to a five-minute process if you know what you’re doing, which I didn’t. WordPress‘s help wasn’t very useful, but my webhost Modwest’s FAQ came up trumps and told me exactly what I had to change in order to get the blog software going. So far, so geeky.

So, what am I going to be writing about in this blog? I plan to use this as a public journal to talk about, well, practice. This is a broad term, of course. I guess I mean to discuss more than just my meditation practice, but also the application of mindfulness and compassion in daily life. If I’m feeling particularly brave I may write about politics. If I’m feeling braver still I’ll write about personal matters such as the fact that my wife and I are in the process of adopting a baby girl from China. No, politics would be scarier. Don’t ask me why. Or do! But let’s just take it one post at a time.

And happy Valentine’s Day, world!
