I read it and I agree. The fact that it is subscription here keeps it to a pretty sincere bunch. It definitely feels calm here, even in the midst of disagreements and current event news. After many months of reading the forum, it seemed appropriate for me to participate instead of just taking. For some of us it's a quantum leap to share our hearts and souls in such a public arena. But this has always seemed special to me, beginning with the unique and timely Project Camelot. It doesn't bother me that Kerry and Bill don't chat with us. They're busy, and , as someone else suggested, they began the forums as part of what they needed to do and give us the dignity to approach this playground as we want. The connections here for me personally are sweet, and it's a treat to be able to actually say something which would not be said among friends at home. When I first posted some wee bit, I immediately received a message from Carmen congratulating me on the first one. It showed a compassion and understanding for the energy required if one does not usually chat about precious gems in public. Right away I was befriended by her and Carol and Judykott and mpea, Skyrimirre,.............etc. Wow,such a welcome..And it became evident there were others who had their hearts into keeping this thing going well- the mods and some of the ones who are really dedicated to a couple of very uplifting threads. Same with me about it lasting- hope so. It will be a special meeting place as everything plays out. And hopefully it will not be interfered with.
