Hello Johannes,

It seems to me that a theme of interest but no real dedicated time to 
contribute prevails. Once upon a time there were limited ways into these 
discussions and now there seems to be many. I too listen and read but rarely 
(never) contribute. I seem to barely have enough time to act in my own life let 
alone respond to the abundance of information that passes over my computer 
screen. It’s a weird thing because I really like to know what is happening out 
there but I find myself scanning more than really absorbing the 
words/thoughts/ideas. I very much miss our regular gatherings, which are 
probably still happening without me, but my life is different now. If there was 
a place for me to check in, I would still. Maybe a bulletin board would be a 
good way for those who can contribute do, and those who want to check in can.

I am very involved in getting my audience involved with the live moment/action. 
Mark and I are working on something that will rely on this. But it’s a reality 
that I barely have the time to create/conceive and no time to reflect and 
report on my findings. Maybe a bigger topic of discussion is - how in the hell 
do we keep up with all the discussion?

I don’t want to make a suggestion because I can’t help with any of the 
responsibility for keeping up whatever suggestion I might have. 

That’s all I can say about it right now. I’m in this loop for however long it 
continues.

Thank you,
Dawn
