koshtra… having you here means a lot more than I will say here, but you know what I mean. The events of February have changed me and the way I both use and view the internet. I seek more serenity and authenticity, and less surety about my convictions. One thing I am certain is that I am not sure about anything any more. It is all shadows and veils and flickering flames. And soemwhere in the midst of all the movement I move, too.

That’s terribly beautiful.

(the photograph caught me up short, too—those extraordinary blues in the shadowed driftwood—home.)

Hi Fionarobyn, Anne-Mieke, and Marja-Leena (my, how long everyone’s names are!) I really appreciate your taking the time to sign up and I’m really sorry to ask everyone to do it… it’s a pain, I know, and not the most friendly of gestures on my part. I was just truly fed up with all my spam (more than 300 a day!) and wanted to have a quiet place here. So, thanks.

Marja-Leena, unfortunately this site design is not yet my new one. This is the default WordPress design that everyone gets out of the box. I’m workiing hard on my own design, but it’s a big job and will probably take a month or more to complete. I’ve put this up in the meantime, just to stay abrest of the community.

Looking at the list of women readers who’ve left comments here (only two men), I have been wondering about all this recent talk about there being so few women bloggers… My experience shows that, at least for the interesting blogs that I tend to frequent, women far outnumber the men. Anyone have any opinions on that? Why do so few men leave comments here? And if it something about the way I’ve stated my thoughts and feelings in the past, why then do women make the effort to sign up, if I am so disruptive? This has really got me curious…

Hi Miguel! I’ve managed to register, so here’s my fist comment on your lovely re-designed blog! You asked if I object to registering – I guess I hate remembering all the hundreds of passwords needed for everything these days! Yet, I understand the reason.

I’m so happy to have you back in blogland, just found you again a while ago by checking your link out of curiosity, so I’ve been reading it! My RSS reader is an older version & doesn’t read your version.

This story is a wonderful one! Thanks for sharing it. You are blessed in having old friends.
