what confusion! Your humble moderator has been exploring novels depths of limbo and disorientation--an ordinary job with eight hour work days and early mornings. A new underworld trip; fresh banality; unexpected limbo.

We have some lovely new members. Welcome!!

A moment of clarity revealed to me that this tribe is still not 'public.' Membership requests have been festering in my inbox. The spirits are surely displeased.

I've spent the last year attempting to dismember my life. I thought that my courage alone was enough.

I seem to be fleshing out a Faustian pact. I've been moving into interactions with increasingly dense matters.

I've been wresting with the world--ripping out walls and old floors, building a shower, tearing apart and repairing an old vehicle. That was the easy, painful stuff. Now I'm in danger of succumbing to real stupidity, working full time, missing my solitude.

Maybe some of you will enjoy my raving account of one of the flashes of clarity that burst through a turn around the twisting screw-threads

I'm now staying in an empty home, which I hope will sell as soon as possible. I'm full of hope. I'll drive across the country. I'll be one more thin thread connecting the tribes. I'll meet those of you who are interested in meeting me.

Welcome new members! You've been ignored but not forgotten. Assault me with your justified grievances!


love,
ben

  • Hi Ben! Nice to read you! lol

    Please consider letting someone who is around more assist you here. Do you know anyone who could moderate during your long absences?

    All the best!
    • Thanks for the replies! And for those who mentioned your locations--i'd love to meet with you. It's impossible to know how long it will be before I leave Jacksonville, or even if a cross country drive will be my first endeavor. But eventually . . .

      Embrace -- You're right that the tribe shouldn't be without an active moderator. For what it's worth, when I've been generally inactive, I do continue to check for email notifications of tribe messages. Apparently I don't receive notes about membership requests.

      For the immediate future, I should have time to devote to this group, and I've been craving writing opportunities.

      We'll see what happens over the next few weeks. If I find that I remain absorbed in non-tribe activities, I'll turn over the task of moderating for awhile or forever.

      love you all . . .
