But I lack the mental and emotional energy for it these these days and I do think it's wise to consider that not every thought needs to be shared on the journey to greater enlightenment! Having said that, if you can find people to ask questions of then it can be a great experience. The thing abut being able to change our minds is so important.

I write in my prayer journal, and often change my mind about things through writing/praying about them - but the good thing about writing in my journal is that nobody needs to know what I think or feel about everything - it is private. I agree that the problem with twitter, when we are sharing our words, is that we are immediately publishing something and we might have needed a bit more reflection, or a kind editor to say 'do you really mean that?', or a humbling recognition in ourselves that we may have got it wrong. Twitter can be such kind and supportive place, but it can be scary too, and I definitely tend to avoid publishing on subjects I am still learning about. In some ways it is a shame, because people should be able to be seen to learn from others and change their minds about things without being called hypocrites , and we should be able to admit we are not sure or don't fully understand about things.
