It is Friday... 5;30 am... Im still here. It already seems very quiet in the Forum. I leave for Dulles airport at 1. Thought Id write this now, and then it will be interesting to write when I get back. As you all realize, it isnt just the fact that we are going to England that is exciting. The thrill for me is why we are going. This Forum adventure has been magical for me. Eighteen months ago.. I was one of those " I hate computer people" Stumbled across this place quite accidently early one morning, when I was down in Georgia. I have always been a people person. Living my life everyday enthusiastic about who I might meet, or what encounter I might have, with a total stranger. Brief encounters that color our worlds with bits of humor,or shared stories that enrich our sense of compassion, or give us insight into possibly living in a better way. Whatever takes place between us, over the next few days... we will be shooting snippets of good energy into the universe with hugs, laughs, kind words,and smiles. But the largest contribution we will make is an affirmation of faith. A group of strangers, divided by an ocean,having the trust, and the faith to reach out and meet each other. Every one of us has shared hardships we have faced in life, and still our spirits reach out and connect with others. That is a beautiful thing.:-4
