Told You So

Please excuse this small inside 

token of conversations 

I have had over the past few weeks.

Discussions of what is valued

by me and my friends.

Staying true to ourselves and maintaining

authentic lives in a sometimes difficult 

and misleading world, both the real one and in blog land.

Making sure my compass points true north.

I told you guys I would do it,

fly a banner 

that's not just "about the pretty."

Thank you my dear friends for always being there,

and letting my voice be heard in a safe and 

nurturing environment. 

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... 

It has no survival value; 

rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.
C. S. Lewis
