Zeros and Ones... Revised

It is rather appropriate that my final Blogger entry should be on this particular topic... and on a Sunday, too. It's funny how things seem to come full circle!

I don't know if I can close this out without going back to the beginning and examining the events of the last... gosh, almost six months.

I joined a couple of online communities around my last birthday. I was tired and yes, lonely and looking to spark up a few interesting conversations with people I'd probably never meet any other way.

The Forum and Personal Messaging systems were an experiment of sorts... an out of character venture into the online world of relationships and personal interaction. It was an experiment that carried me into places that I didn't even know existed (at least not on this scale).

I’ve learned that for many of us the world is a very lonely and isolated place, but like it or not, agree with it or not, zeros and ones bouncing off satellites can address the void left by make-work busy lives. Lives that are filled, in part, with people who simply don’t have the time or inclination to listen to our idle rants and ramblings.

Online I discovered a world of e-families, e-friends, e-enemies, and e-loves. In this microcosm of “real” life I've explored and learned and grown and tackled a few personal issues that needed to be dealt with, knocked to the ground, held down, and controlled.

To my surprise, I’ve found that my heart is bigger than I imagined it to be and my fear is less than I thought it was.

Here’s to growing where we are planted. Here’s to continued exploration through Zeros and Ones!
