A blog not for blogging's sake

"I sincerely believe blogging can save America." -- John Jay Hooker, American businessman.

Even though I may not be capable of saving America through publishing my thoughts, opinions, and observations on a regular basis, I hope to have a positive impact on whomever reads this blog. My hope is that what I write will positively impact others and maybe move them to reconsider their world and their interactions with the world around them. Hence, I have drawn the title "The Progressive Poet" in hopes of advocating change. As to what change, I am not entirely sure. But I can promise that I will not blog just for blogging's sake because that is a paradoxial element that serves no purpose to the greater good (plus it just wastes the reader's time).

I guess we'll just wait and see where my pen (keyboard strokes) takes me.
