A BEND IN THE RIVER

Norrie Point looking north... and around the bend in the river is Kingston

I don't know who reads what I post here, but if you would FOLLOW me and post comments back it would be nice to hear what you have to say too!

It's nice to know that I have this window to the world ( this computer ) through which I can speak to people I know every day when I wake up, and throughout the day when I have time... and in some ways it's nicer to reach people this way rather than making phone calls because we can all respond when we have time to... and neither of us is interrupting what the other may be doing at the time. It's nice to know that there is always someone there to talk to when I feel I have something to share, whatever it might be, and to hear what they have to share back, even though at the time I write, the person I'm sending a note to might be busy... I know they will read it at some point and respond when they can... such is the joy of having this form of communication... which reaches around the world!

Although I started out here mostly posting things I'd written, along a rather poetic line, and I will continue to do that, I'd really like there to be more dialogue because sharing thoughts, opinions, ideas, hopes and fears and whatever comes to mind is always refreshing, and enriching. We all have a lot we can learn from one another, and I don't want this to be just words that I write for others to read because I want to hold center stage or something. It's not all about ME... and I would welcome comments.

The Flow of Life is like a RIVER ... and it is through sharing our thoughts and feelings on a variety of things that we grow in understanding. Communication is more than simply discussing the news or things on TV or something like that, although that certainly has it's place too ... we are people with things within ourselves that tend to go without a voice, or without someone listening, and I'd like this to be a way for you to do that too. If you were to send me something, in my personal E-mail, that you'd like me to post here, I would like to do that, from time to time, to share with others as well.

I know there are places such as Facebook to keep in touch with a lot of people all at once, but that seems to be more of a place for posting little comments, pictures or links, things that are like a personal news page, and I wouldn't post comments with any length to them there since it would tend to clutter up the NEWSFEED where a number of people are trying to enter their comments. I'd like this to be more along the lines of a conversation about things that aren't particularly newsy ( i.e. the new house, someone's trip, or the latest on the new baby ) but more from the heart and soul ...

If you have a question, thought, idea, or whatever, and post it in the comments here, it's like putting a messege in a bottle, and the more people this blog reaches, the more it can reach back to you as well.
