HELLO WORLD

"I tell you, the more I think, the more I feel that there is nothing more truly artistic than to love people." Vincent van Gogh.

Lately I have been reconnecting with people. It started with Facebook - and Classmates.com. Then it was texting - and this morning I was even instant messaging. I've been reluctant to dive into the constant communication age - but now that I have, I see what I have been missing.

I have made contact with friends from high school (yes, I know - the DARK AGES), communicated with a lost relative or two, and have just been more accessible to everyone. It's a good thing. I think I had become a little too insular. I forgot how much we all need a "community" - a "tribe". I forgot how interconnected we are with one another. How much we are all the same. And how much we can learn from each other.

Every day holds a new lesson - if our hearts are open to learn.
