Because of you

I’ve built a spare room

inside my head,

stocked it with fingerpaint

and sidewalk chalk

just to see

how you would decorate.

It will ALWAYSbe about people first. Words areloose bridges of intention, and we use them to connect our ideas to other good people.

Chris Brogan

You reached out, used my name, and replied.

First contact!

To be heard. To receive. To feel. To interact.

And that was just the beginning!

Neighbors knew everything.

Today, social networks are recreating an idea of local where once again neighbors know all.

We need to rally around ourselves, our community, and the core existence of showing and expressing our hopes and dreams, not just selling our art.

Damien Franco

Then…

Grey skies, time flies; many sighs -

Sad eyes, soulful cries; progress dies.

Now…

Blue bird, friends heard; kind word -

Hope spurred, undeterred; joy occurred!

Robert Hruzek

When you are far away AvitalAnd out of my reach, I know we breathe the same airAnd watch the same sky; I’m happy again.

Each of us reflects light differently,but all of us together paint the world.Branches both uphold our livesand provide a means to share.   Todd Smith

Break bread with me through the blogging medium my sisters and brothers;

crawl through the ether that both binds us and defines our limits.”

Bob Whaley

Moment in time,

Make or Break moment-

When approached with listening ears,

Empathetic heart and desire to relate,

Connects us long after the moment passes.    Make or Break Moments

I see you.Not for what you might do for me…or to me.I see you…want to know you…change the world together.

From Ben-Hur and Crazy Horse to cigarette boats, we

equate equus with power. Listen to its “Neigh” and

brand your voice. Google juice, anyone?    Ari Herzog

Mother Earth  the sun ended todayautumn bursts of color come to viewa golden sea of yellow fallenglowing burnt siennacrunchy crunched under my feet

A blogger’s words may grow icy with frost;

a published presence, subscriptions lost.

But wireless pathways and creative minds,

share colourful comments that forever bind.    

Davina

How are we connected? Surely not by wires and photons and beams.No, the things that unite us are ideas and feelings and beautiful dreams.    WriteScribe

Life is NOT a journey in which you tip-toe to the grave, but rather you slide in loudly proclaiming, ’WOW, what a ride!!     Mark Salinas

Please take responsibility for your actions now,

because what YOU sow, all our children will reap in the future.  Go on, make it something excellent.  

ZenCookbooks

Connections aren’t about

how close you can get,

how far you travel,

or how long you’ve known

someone; it’s about reaching

across to their heart.
