OUR LITTLE GATHERING around a virtual campfire has expanded once again. Followers of this page now number 13,000 souls! It sounds like a lot, but I do hope it feels safe, and warm and familiar. A place to share humor and silliness and dreams and beliefs and travails, a place to pull up a rock or a stump and ponder our place in the midst of it all. Sometimes to stand up against the darkness, to challenge bullies and idiots. But more often a place to simply celebrate light and beauty. A moonrise. A sunset. The glow of a campfire shared with friends. The singing of waves along the shore. The calling of a loon. Thank you, my friends, for coming along. For sharing your wisdom and grace and good tidings. For gathering around the fire together.
