every time I sit to write something, I'm overwhelmed by feelings of helplessness and frustration. being so damn far away from so many people I love has never been harder.
I don't know who's reading; I don't know what you're doing; for the first time I really, really feel the utter inadequacy of computers for expressing feelings and keeping in touch with people. I'm finding the blogs and websites of strangers to be strangely comforting... as if the global family instinct had kicked in, and we are all writing for the benefit of all the loved ones we haven't met yet. I'm hearing and reading so many beautiful stories about people helping each other, providing support in so many forms...
Rob Brezsny had some good things to say... I don't know how long it'll be on his page, though.
