I have a secret website, and I finally feel ready to share. I first got it back in Spring 2004, but I waited to dig in while I sat with my intentions. I finally completed a design in February 2005, as I thought about the upcoming anniversaries and birthdays of people I have lost. Then I spilled my secret to a close friend, during a conversation about our writing, why we explore certain subjects and themes, etc. As soon as I revealed the site, I felt a release. I moved some long-hidden posts from draft mode to publish mode, and it felt right. So now I am revealing it here as well. The site is called Missing Person, and you can find it here.
Missing person cases/missing & located people have haunted my evidentiary:alchemy blog for some time, of course, but usually within the context of writing metaphors, forensics, criminal trials, or objective correlative. The Missing Person site is different - more personal.
Thanks to the friend to whom I spilled my secret. (She knows who she is!) If I did not love and trust her so much, I may have kept this one buried. (A behavior this same friend would diagnose as a symptom of my Scorpio rising, which seems like a lovely-dark image to me.)
