Who are you really? (part one)

Answering readers questions, as best I can

Three weeks ago I asked subscribers to send me questions. I received far more than expected, so over the next few months, between trips, I will try to answer as many as I can.

This particular essay is an attempt to address a whole category of them, and is very different from what I’ve posted before, so if it works, then I’ll do a few more like it, if it doesn’t, then I’ll go back to the regularly scheduled walking program.

Most of the questions I received were about me, my past, and how I’ve changed over my lifetime, and why I’ve changed. Including one that ended with the deceptively simple “Who are you really?”

That there’s such a demand shows I’ve not written enough about myself, which was intentional, but I now believe is a weakness, especially for a blog where I am the only consistent character from week to week.
