Secrets and Shadow-Makers

I apologize for my absence, I have been very busy these past few weeks. Blogging, I decided, would have to wait. Then I realized, this is exactly what my blog is for.

Music makers, dreamers of dreams, those who live their lives and shake the world in ways that none but them would even deem possible, these are the real world. Those who dance to inaudible music are the turning machinery in the deep underbelly of what others would call 'normality'.

Are these things possible? Could such things be real?

Cell phones, internet, these things spread information at the touch of a button, faster than the eye can perceive. Surely, in such a world, no secrets can be kept. Surely, in such a world, what is known by some is known by all.
Not so. For what is a 'scandal' but a secret come to light? What is a 'press conference' or a 'trial' but the bringing forth of information which some know but more must? These things are not gone. Information, which can be spread so fast and made available to so many, is still often a prized and treasured thing.

Sitting here, at your computer, you feel the rush of all the information the world has to offer at your very fingertips. But, if it should choose to withhold some, you would not only be helpless to stop it, you would be quite unaware of the gap.

Know, dear reader, that there are secrets. Things which you cannot fathom dart quickly back and forth just out of your range of vision.

There are secrets.
