changed last night for me.   We now have at least one identified poster who is completely unknown to me.  not a maple leaf.    it's thrilling and weird.   the *most* weird was ken's immediate response: "i hope they know that you write nice things".   wow.   that NEVER occurred to me.... a post that wasn't in the spirit?   tucking that concern or consideration into the hinter land.  see? weird idea.

sue touched on this.   "i kind of want a select bunch".   she's proceeding that way.   i do too i guess b/c even though i've reached out to many of my friends, they still are my friends for a reason and i *haven't* announced the idea on FB which would seem the way to attract followers.   guess i too was liking the "hand-picked".  

somehow it seems bigger also b/c that new person just spoke up on the site.   just like that!   wow.  

i'm going to begin to think about the true idea that was to have been part of the strength.   that premise is a power of knowing that there are concerned and involved people laced into life everywhere.  as jami said, those concerned but w/o a pulpit.   collecting will feel hopeful.   expanding beyond the posters already connected is not only a logical step but *should* be the result of the design of this project.   i *meant* to appeal to a sensitivity that i *HOPED* wasn't an isolated, small one. 

this is good.   it's a tilt maybe not a tip.    it does mean that i've lost a little control and loss of control in the first place was what started this.   aha.   THAT'S it.   loss of control....   that's the real reason it feels so significant.

ponder that one karen.
