Anyone?


If a tree falls in the forest, does it make a sound?

Blogging always makes me think of that question. As a blogger you fell your words and wonder if anyone sees them lying there. I suppose blogging is no different from being a radio or television announcer. You present to a theoretical audience and you have to hope that in the void of silence that you face, someone is listening, something is resonating with someone.

Recently, I have had a lot of email in response to posts. It is gratifying to know that friends and strangers are checking in regularly. As I prepare to leave my life here and move across the country, it is comforting to know that the blog will remain a constant, a mobile connection to the world that can relocate with me.

Having said that, I am not sure what the next few weeks hold. I do know that I face busy days, heartfelt goodbyes and, no doubt, adventure. So, please forgive me if I skip a week or two of posting. When I am safely ensconced in the land of great forests, I will once again start making noise and wait breathlessly to see if you are still listening.

    1. Nicole, so lovely to see you back. I haven't had a chance to respond to you, but know that I saw your posts and am happy to see you (read you :0) ) alive and well, if a little stressed. Hang tight, the end is near and your reward will be great.

  4. Rose, thinking about you and yours since the 'partay'. Don't want you to go, cause it feels like the end of something momentous. Of course, for those 'glass half full' people, it's actually the beginning of something momentous. It hurts my brain to think to philosophically about it.
    Know that I feel enriched by knowing the two of you!
