 An ode to the 'stream
 

Yin and Yang

We find one another
In a chaotic universe
And the dance thus begins

Neither complete
Without the other
Giving birth to each other

Your light
And my darkness
Together make the whole

And we become
Infinite
As we lose ourselves

2005, by wayfarer

 

I posted the above poem on Blogstream in November of 2005. It was my first post on Blogstream, and it will be my last.

When I came here, I was drawn in by reading the conversations that took place here amongst the bloggers. I remember sitting up one night late and reading all the comments in the mock trial over Daisy's hat.

I knew that this was the place for me.

I don't think I knew it at the time,, but I was really here for a reason. I was here because, within my depths, something was calling me to write -to explore my thoughts- and I needed feedback from people in order to do that properly.

I dove into the 'stream as a completely different person than the one before you now.

I will not lie and say that I won't miss this web-site. I have found ways to stay in touch with many of you already, though, and you were all the ones who made the 'stream what it was.

The 'stream itself is nothing more than some servers and computer programs, you, the 'streamers, you were what gave it the human element. We had our moments when things were fairly ugly, but, for the most part, we built a family of relatively anonymous friends.

Colo has said it often: "It felt a lot like love." And I think we did grow to love each other as friends.

My heart sank when I read the notice that the stream was closing. But, the realization that the 'stream isjust an arbitrary way to refer to all of you -my stream friends- gives me comfort.

It wasn't really the 'stream that I needed. It was all of you.

Thank God we had this vehicle to bring us together, but let us not allow it's closing to tear us assunder.

I raise my glass to the 'stream, and to each and every person who has ever taken the time to comment here.

Thank you, Pioneer, and thank you 'streamers.

peace, wayf

 

P/S

you can find me here, if you wish to keep up the conversation, or just read along.

No, I'm not really angry, I just wanted to give angry orange guy as much play as possible before the 'stream dries up for good.

 I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in...
 

and lo and behold, Blogstream's shutting down.

 

I have had a contingency plan for just such an occurence for awhile now; blogs set up and ready to go at both Wordpress and Blogger.

If anyone happens by this dusty old blog and decides they'd like to keep in touch, they can find me either here, or here.

 

I hope that I can keep in touch with many of my old Blogstream pals.

 

In the words of Bilbo Baggins in "The Lord of the Rings", "I don't know half of you as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve."

 

Seriously, though, if you stop by and read this message, please stop by one of the above links and let me know where you go to roost. Both Wordpress and Blogger seem to be good sites.

Anyhoo, (to quote John, the Squabbler), I hope to find some you floating about in the ether.

 

peace, wayf

 midnight sky full moon (or, the Taoist returns?)
 

 

midnight sky full moon

 

dark clouds floating past

like waifs without homes

 

little drops of rain

on my exposed neck

 

remind me gently

it is always thus

peace, wayf
