Yesterday after 110 days of uninterrupted posting I took a day off. It was about time I’d say… and Time I suppose. 

  For a while there I had the idea of seeing what would happen if I posted daily for say a year, and whether or not a readership could be grown without resorting to any sort of social media promotion. 

  However, an obligation to publish something on a daily basis, regardless of objectives, is not what the Omphalos Cafe is about when you get down to it. 

  Besides, who really wants a large readership or following in this day in age anyways? Best remain on the sidelines or in the background free of restraints or responsibility for others. That’s my thinking at any rate.

  In short, this ain’t about followers; it’s about fostering leaders!

  As I’ve said before, the Cafe is a quiet place, a place apart, removed from the hurly-burly hustle and bustle of our frenetic modern world. I picture it as a place certain individuals can retreat to in order to gain perspective in their own lives and in the world at large. It can provide an opportunity to recalibrate and rebalance and perhaps to reassess our stance and place in this ever changing, ever evolving world in which we live. 

  I see it as a sort of matless yoga studio where our psycho-spiritual core is limbered up and stretched, contorted and realigned for a more fluid engagement in Life going forward! Once the session is over you roll your metaphorical mat up and go about your business. But maybe, just maybe, as your training advances and you graduate up through the Omphalos ranks your business will gradually change. 

  Who knows?
