Five years this month, I started my blog "William K. Wolfrum Chronicles" with the post “Climbing from the Hedge.” In that post, I wrote this:

A true story: when I was much younger, I used to go across the street from my house, where there were some hedges that I could crawl into. I was a little boy sitting in a bush so no one could see him, playing with my toys and daydreaming. I’d sit in that hedge every day for hours.

And more or less, I’ve stayed there. It’s been a lot easier to stay shielded and aloof of feelings than actually dealing with them in any way. But hiding from the important things in life is no way to live. …

At 38, it’s time for me to crawl out of my hedge.

While it’s been a slow affair to get myself from that hedge, the journey continues. At 43, I’m still trying.

Thanks for a great five years. And there’s a lot more to come.
