daybooks

pulled them all out yesterday morning
thirty-two years of rambling words
diaires
from when I was 10...
and all the minutia of growing up
boy friends and girl friends
days of living on my own
and wanting to marry
baby days
and then...their summer journals
travel logs
prayers and intentions
my journals
my life

something I felt necessary to keep
have kept
for all this time

now what?
what to do with all of this?

and now that I'm online...
with 'dayblogs'
how will I someday pull them out
pile them up and photograph them?!?!

will I regret not having the paper version someday?

or someday will the pages all burn?
and only what's online survive?!??!
