The Pillow Book

As a youngster in high school, I was constantly writing: essays, poems, and research papers. During my freshman year, we were introduced to a form of Japanese art called the Pillow Book. It is a unique collection of memoirs, journals, poems and essays. It also includes occasional writings, reminders, special random note exchanges. Aptly called Pillow Book, it was placed under the writer's pillow...taken out and filled when something important needs to be remembered for a very long time.

In college, my writing shifted to a scientific journal- The Purple Gazette, The Varsitarian (university-wide newspaper) and for a brief period of time, a professional journal- The Medical Technology Laboratory Journal. 

Through the years, though, I have kept my Pillow Book.
It awakened my love for writing.  I just gave it a different name at different points in time. Pillow Book...Journal...Notes...and now, in keeping with the tradition of technology--> Blogs.

I feel a little bit skeptical of what I am about to begin; yet, I am certain that is not just my vanity but God's plan. There is so much to share and so much to be thankful for.

I shall try to write again- of experiences, thoughts, and mostly reflections about my Faith and my love for my Creator, my Pilot.
