CATCHING UP
Well, I'm still being stolen by Facebook. I didn't get it at first. Then I discovered all these friends from my past and instantaneously we were back in each other's lives. Same for some more distant relatives. So I am finding FB as a way to have a large extended family when time and distance have been the obstacles.
I thought LJ would be that but it is a more contemplative place and most friends from my world don't have the time for reading blogs but at FB they can connect with 10 or more people within the span of 15 minutes. And although that doesn't seem personal somehow it is. I guess lots of small contacts each day leads to a feeling of being a part of someone's world.
It is a very different medium because it is fast. Most people I know who blog do so with thought behind it, for some it is part of their creative expression or to share that through their poetry, paintings, etc. I enjoy this and enjoy when I take the time to craft a post to tell a story.
I'm going to have to find time to do both as they serve different purposes in my life. I'm also feeling how all of this is broadening our consciousness. We all now are in touch all over the globe. I've added some lovely photography blogs from Mumbai India. In a subliminal way we are experiencing - we are one!
