Dear Friends,
How was wisdom shared in the olden days? Discussions.
Grandmother to granddaughter, teacher to student, neighbor to neighbor, father to son.
Discussing becoming a woman, non-attachment, how to grow the best vegetables, stories of our ancestors.
How do we share wisdom in the Internet age? Discussions.
Our discussions are a little different than those of our ancestors. Because they can extend across time, across space, across cultural and societal boundaries. Because I can learn from MsPurple or Heatherhedyjon or Triara or Larry, or you, whenever I most need it. Because our discussions are captured for all time, and might inspire someone else in the middle of the night on the other side of the world.
But though the medium has changed, our discussions have stayed the same at their core. Just people sharing their personal experiences about this amazing journey we're on. Helping each other make sense of it. Supporting each other to learn, grow, laugh, love.
May you inspire someone you don't know today!

Leaping, nets appearing, learning from others, opening your heart, the joys of volunteering: we have much to learn from mshawkman.
elsa shared with us she'd like to write a book about her life. Read her post and tell her if you'd be inspired by her book.

How does touch heal? And why might it be the most important need of our seniors? Ask Peggy4321 - she's already discussing this on her profile page.
Amethyst's personal statement rocks! It's gorgeous poetry on what it means to be human, if you ask me (which you didn't).
