I spent the summer in a state of entanglement. Bindweed has twisted itself around the roses. The dogs have been caught in burrows and brambles. We became embroiled in everybody else’s dramas and plans with no time to connect, to rest and read, to slow down.
My yarn and cabin were neglected, sitting in shadow beneath the trees. By the close of summer, we were taut with fatigue and our little girl’s hair was so tangled we had to cut out thick dreads.
When I allowed myself to be convinced that I should become an ‘authority’ site, not a simple blog, I ended up with an illogical mess between two web platforms. I had only wanted help with SEO. But, it got me thinking about the purpose of the internet. And about greed. My conclusion is that it’s easy to lose our integrity here. It shouldn’t be about self promotion but connection.
Today, possibly behind the curve, I discovered Theron Humphrey’s This Wild Idea. http://thiswildidea.com His journey, (across America meeting a new person everyday, for 365 days) and his tender photographs and simple interviews transformed my day. This man has got it right – he is forging real connection, telling people’s stories, celebrating the beauty and honesty of their everyday lives.
