Definitions

I just had a glimmer, almost a shimmer... a glimmer, for those of you wondering, is a sliver of a revelation, a glint of epiphany, a moment of potentially profound thought that inspires a smile mostly because it does not require much more exploration at the moment... a shimmer, on the other hand, would have some more tentative possibilties and be scary-exciting, kind of like will the roller coaster car fly off the track this time? or like a crack in the wall between understanding everything and not (with the shimmer being the light that shines through to the not side, where we are)...

lol... sometimes i come to these web spaces you are creating from my words and your comments and i am not sure what to say for it feels so egocentric and narcissistic at times... i definitely feel much more than a whole hunk of honored and respected and blessed to have you doing this... no worries, the modesty is not a permanent condition :)

seriously, thank you.

I'm having a real blast with A Foolish Wisdom ... because it adds another "search" layer into my reading ... which prevents me from skipping over what I might assume I already know ...

I'm hoping that every now and again ... you find some thought or quote that I've selected and feel "pride" or a good, true ego stroke at seeing the brilliance you manage to create ... hidden within babble no less ...

You deserve those moments ...

... really.

thanks for this... i am feeling good and flattered and honored and ego-tripping and loving it...

except for... again, i don't get notification of comments or posts and i don't have time to search for comments, so it's frustrating to give up sleep to search for comments and then find them after they have been there a while...

same for salvaged gardens and the sleeping dogs blog, the more blogs grow, the more comments are lost, undermining communication and allowing for misunderstandings without email notification...

that is how driftaway happens...

you're not doing all this to just have me driftaway, are ya? :)

and then, beyond our communication or the gift you are giving me by doing this, if someone stumbles in here and leaves a comment some time down the road (or did already), i'll never know... and i love to thank commenters and hate them to think i am ignoring them, so even beyond our communication, please let me know when someone commented on my words by either giving me access or turning on comment and post notification, will ya? :)

after all, you're not doing this just for yourself, you said so right above here :)
