Nomad recently posted a commentary on Mindsay profile icons, and asked visitors to share how they decided upon theirs. Since my response is, as usual, too wordy to be proper really, I’m posting it here, as what may be a slightly more interesting post than my update on my pursuit of health.

I see myself as one just passing through this mortal existence -- it is not my place of origin, nor will it be my resting place, hence the name, sojourner. In deciding upon an icon that would represent this sojourner, the little girl seemed to come closest to representing how I see myself. I can ‘dress up’ and put on the socially appropriate ‘face’ when expected (little girl’s white dress), but I’m always ‘barefoot in the grass’ in my heart, feeling that kinship with the earth beneath my feet and my environment as a whole. And it is not enough for me to just walk through life, I must EXPERIENCE it (hence the bare feet in the grass). I feel young at heart, if not in body, hence the little girl. And running? I’m always running -- running FROM it, running INTO it, running AT it, trying to run AWAY from it, or just running for the sheer joy of it -- whatever, it seems I’m ALWAYS on the run.

Thereyago. "Deeeeeep" isn’t it? ;-D
