Too bad Lisa is doing real, serious work now, instead of writing more. She might be more interesting to read than the now highly acclaimed author after all.

I thought no, because every awful thing that the internet has put into the public domain is balanced out (over-powered?) by the opportunties to connect, to share, to realise that across this planet and across our different angles and life stories, we can find little pieces like this that make us know that the world and our human stories within it can be beautiful.<br />Thanks for sharing this, Dorothy.NinaSnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-81655196088297765922010-08-06T15:45:54.215-07:002010-08-06T15:45:54.215-07:00Wow- truly powerful, emotional words.

Now times have changed, and mostly we fight and argue over the silliest things. It's hard to admit you have failed, and we're not quite there yet. But now I remembered how it all began, and even though it's even more painful it also leaves me with a warm feeling.
