A lot of you fine folks "liked" without replying.
Maybe you're not inclined to asking for flattery?
I get it.
But since I am entering the end-stages of "borracho" (drunk), and tipping into "guayabo" (hungover), I will just say this.
You're all doing *so much work* in your communities simply by showing up.
Maybe it doesn't always feel like enough, with our tempests-in-teapots on the news.
But it is.
You are the hearts that help us all abide.
Thank you for your steady presence with it all.
@MLClark You spoke from the heart, that's what matters. A lot of us try to do the same here, it can sometimes cause upset but we generally talk things out and clear the air in short order, ya know? I just love this place, there's so many brilliant minds here and a wealth of experiences and wisdom to talk to and ask about!
Hello PaganMother! 🤗
I'm just off to bed, but I can't resist the opportunity to thank you for your courage, and for forging a path that has so few stories set out ahead of it, with which to guide the way.
You have to write your *own* stories - and you do! And every time you do, you ennoble everyone around you with tricky and untold stories too.
Thank you for the gift of the road less taken. 🕊
May it lead you to where your oh so questing heart most needs for it to go. 💜
@MLClark Clark, this made my morning. Thank you.
@MLClark I missed this whole thread last night. Oh well. But I missed it because I was on the phone with a dear friend who's dealing with the fallout of leaving an emotionally abusive husband. We talk very Sunday. So I guess that means you did compliment me, in that I'm one of the people showing up for my personal community. Like you do for yours.
@MLClark I regret missing this positive tipsy thread!
I definitely hear you on CoSo feeling like a better space to be a human being and not like... an idealized, public facing entity tiptoeing around the whims of an algorithm-emboldened hypercritical hivemind (new band name?). Thanks for celebrating that!🥂
🫂 I have a few tasks to finish today (just switching my schedule from day to night, & I keep dropping things along the way), but you and @stephen_a_allen* are definitely receiving tipsy** messages of warm appreciation very soon.
*Stephen! I will be sending you a VM tomorrow morning, while chatting with the birds in the park. For now, the biggest hug from afar.
**Well, a sober facsimile of tipsy, at least! But weird sleep patterns can replicate many facets of the original condition. 🙃

@MLClark I look forward to it, and many hugs back.
@MLClark your kind words are a blessing. I get few compliments because deep down i feel i don't deserve them.
It like a breath of fresh air. I appreciated your Benevolence, Eloquence and Elegance
