why now

why not.  as pema chodron would say, "start where you are".  so that's what I'm doing.  why this title? well, from one of my favorite books by a favorite author - "here be dragons" by sharon kay penman.  and as she explains, the phrase has its roots in the common practice of medieval cartographers; when a mapmaker had drawn upon all of his or her geographical knowledge, they would neatly letter across the void beyond: here be dragons.  "here be dragons" denotes uncharted territory... and so is life... uncharted territory.  this is mine...
