🙂 No lie, no liquor --
I love you rotters something fierce.
I am *a lot*. Life is, too.
(I'm starting to think none of us gets out of this alive! 🙃)
But when I pop on here, I see people who know how to live with a spirit of convivencia: neighbourly conduct.
We're messy. Quirky. Uneven. Carrying burdens all our own, through personalities and worldviews that don't always agree... but also *don't have to*.
We're here. We're trying.
And we're giving grace to others trying, too.
Thank *you*. 🕊️
That is precisely why I love this place. It really feels like a community. I have friends here with a greater diversity of opinions, communication styles, lived experience than I have anywhere else online. We do have areas we can improve as a community, but that's always true of any people.

We are secrets to each other
Each one's life a novel
No-one else has read
Even joined in bonds of love
We're linked to one another
By such slender threads
We are planets to each other
Drifting in our orbits
To a brief eclipse
Each of us a world apart
Alone and yet together
Like two passing ships
We are islands to each other
Building hopeful bridges
On a troubled sea
Some are burned or swept away
Some we would not choose
But we're not always free
"Entre Nous"
Neil Peart
