Hineni is Hebrew for “here I am,”

and is the response

Abraham gives when God calls on him to sacrifice his son Isaac.

I just had one of the most disappointing things happen that has ever happened since I began writing almost 7 years ago.

As you know, I never pre-plan what I am going to write. I open my computer, add my quotes of the day, change the date and subject and then I am off to the races until I feel as if I am finished.

Very stream of consciousness.

Today after what felt like a particularly gratifying entry, I accidentally hit something and everything I had written vanished.

Gone.

Unretrievable.

I became physically ill.

It was as if I had been kicked in the groin.

Once the wind has gone from my sails,there is no going back.

I can not nor will I even attempt to recreate what had just poured out of me, no matter how good I thought it was.

Disappointed?

Absolutely.

And no I move on.
