Just remembering the (good?) old days... The time when I was still a net-addicted teenage new-ager. It's weird to think about it now, but... that forum that was so special for me, the people there... they weren't just a bunch of random nutcases after all. I don't know what's happened to most of them, but several are on their path to greatness - or at least something beyond the drab and mediocre lives most people lead. They're intelligent, creative, extremely talented people with a spirit bright enough to lead the way for themselves and others around them. The kind of people I'd love to know at any time in my life, really. Not all of them, to be sure. But more than I sometimes let myself remember.
So I suppose I was right about one thing. I did manage to bump into one of the most amazing newager bunches on the net in those days. I guess as far as people went, my standards were not low back then at all. Actually they were probably higher than I could afford to have them now. The net gives you more choice after all...
But of course it is not enough to see the kinds of people you most like to see. It is so important to see all kinds - or at least a few. To see and know life from all sides. The dull as well as the bright, the ugly as well as the beautiful... the different as well as the same. Sometimes to even forget yourself and all you hold dear in the process. Because if you come back - when you come back - what you love the most will be worth it all the more. And perhaps you will learn to love all the rest as well.
