What if the most vitally needed kind of  "community" exists not in a defined place, website, town  or neighborhood, but on a much vaster, non physical  plane?

What if blog communities are really gathering  places, where we pause awhile to meet and discover "like others,"  who then become a permanent part of our inner community from then on, regardless of where our bodies, or fingers may be when they hit "send"?

What if Boo, Kos, MCOC, all the blog owners, are really like matchmakers whose task it is to create these meeting places where we can come together  and connect, where we can contribure what we have to share,  and then it's time  move on, much expanded and stronger..to spread more good ripples along the way?

And what if, when the "exchange" is complete, things just "happen" that nudge us out of place, make us move on, because there are more others waiting. that we are to hook up with? Or because our contributions are needed in other places besides the one we had been calling "home?"

"Home."  So hard to leave a place that has felt like "home".  But what if "home" is really everywhere that there are "like others" for us to come together with?  What if we are intended to have many, many many "homes" along our way, learning and growing and exchanging in each but just for awhile, each?

I like knowing you SallyCat, and I am not worried about missing you because I know you are a part of mhy community, wherever you are typing away!

ONward!

As with my angry journey away from DailyKos I needed time to get past the feeling of betrayal I felt there. There are so many diaries and comments in the past few months that have pushed my perspective out of balance. As has been noted there are those that are at the basis of yesterday's conflict...but they are not my reason for leaving. This journey has been waiting for me for many months now...and it is time.

I currently rage with the fire of passion yet not soaring high enough on the wind to see the full picture. I am grounded in the here and now yet have not washed away the anger with the healing water of nature.

There are a few here that are holding my hands as I grow to another level yet. They are helping me while I regain a balance of the elements in my life.

This is a community with many strong, loving, and wonderful people. With any community there are bullies...so be it. Consider this a break for self-defense training! lol!

I do intend to return - to many no different. Some will see a growth and change as I seek to soar with the Eagles.

Be at peace Scribe...I leave of my own free will...and will return the same.
