Lion and Magic Boy

This has been a week of transition, which culminated in several days at a wonderful retreat with a lovely group of like-minded people in a tree-infested technologically-bereft commune at which my cell phone and laptop were virtually useless and I spent the first 24 hours in total withdrawal, lamenting my lack of a wireless connection.

I wish I was still there though, and I can’t wait to go back.

I found it amazingly freeing being with a group of people, only a few of whom I had met before in real life, who mostly knew me from online communication. Suddenly I could be *anybody*! How cool is that? I found myself, though, giving up worrying about who I was or how people saw me, and instead just relaxed about it all and did whatever pleased me in terms of my interactions with people. All those years of being uncomfortable hugging people, for instance, went right out the window. I could say anything about what I was feeling, and no one would look at me like I suddenly grew a new head.

I return refreshed and exhilarated, and filled with the deepest and purest love imaginable. In fact, I have so much love flowing that here’s a little bit of it here just for you:_____.

Have a wonderful day.

P.S. So, you know, a while ago I bought this camera? (thank you, Ken Rockwell.) Yeah, that’s the one. It enabled me to take some great photos, like this one, and these, and these, plus many more. So, since I’ve become a MWAC, I obviously had to take along my camera this past weekend to this momentous event to record it all for posterity with my wonderful and insightful personal portraits, right? Right?

So you wanna see the best photo I took?

Sure you do:

And all the ones of people that I was going to take and then later amaze everyone with my mad photografick skillz? I actually photographed one person. One. And a lot of wood. And some trees and flowers. Oh, and fruit. But people? No people. And the people were what it was all about.
