Patiently waiting
Thea
I've been patiently waiting for a couple of things this month. I've been waiting for my ZAADZ ambassador kit to arive, that will be a real motivator for me.
I've been waiting for my sweet love to come home from his trip in Texas (miss you terribly!)
And finally, I've been waiting for my 20th friend on Zaadz to magically appear in my mail box, either accepting an invitation or sending me one.
To the Zaadz community: You guys (friends and extras) are just about the coolest people I know. I'm not sure if that's exciting or wierdly pathetic. I honestly haven't been this active on any site or in any community in ages, and I've never really been inclined to be. But I will say this, you have all inspired me to be a different person. So, in honor of that, once I get my 20th friend, I am going to celebrate my newfound friendliness with a blogg on every friend I have, starting with the first one I remember. It should be fun to read, as I have many little insights on you guys and I keep all of my inbound mail.... I'll post icons and links to their bloggs, for all to see what a great, diverse range of people I've met. I hope you all enjoy it.
So, #20.... any takers?
Namaste

“I'm not sure if that's exciting or wierdly pathetic.”
i say weirdly exciting :)

That is a GLORIOUS picture :)
Weirdly exciting….. Yes, I like that. Thank you for the suggestion, C4. Still no takers for #20, though.
The picture above is of the opening in the ceiling of a deep cavern found in the tropics of Puerto Rico. The park is named the Río Camuy Cave Park. The Camuy River flows through and underneath the caverns making some portions roar like thunder; other portions are littered with bat droppings. The bats make their own cacophony of sounds over the crashing water underground.
The only thing that I can use as a common frame of reference for the experience of these caverns is the Peter Jackson version of the Mines of Moria set. It's just that deep and……well, cavernous. I expected Gimli to jump out any minute and yell “no one tosses a dwarf!” And yet there were some sections, like the one above, where the plants hung inward creating a beautiful halo of green light, letting the sun filter in to shimmer on the damp rocks like so many multifaceted jewels.
That's a pretty darn good description…. I think I'll post it to the picture. I don't know why I posted that for this blogg, but there you have it. Sometimes creative writing takes strange flights of whimsy at its own opportunity.
I'm a Thoreau fan, so I'll steal one of my favorite lines of his. Simplify. You say zaadzsters have inspired you to be a better person. Isn't that, at the very root of it all, what this is all about?
And I'll send you an invitiation for 20th friend, if you're interested.
