Considering the amount of traffic that zooms through cyberspace, why would anyone bother with posting thoughts on the internet? Why not just write in a journal, or share those thoughts with someone face to face, for that matter? Still, in all people I think there is a desire to be heard -- to fling some part of the self to the furtherest possible recesses of the universe. Maybe it is a desire to escape. Or, maybe it is a desire to be part of something bigger. Whatever the reason, here we are flinging our thoughts onto the cyber-highway.
In the spirit of exchanging thoughts, I would like to share this quote. Poet Adrienne Rich speaks on intimacy in her notes on women honor and lying:
Intimacy: It is not that we have to tell everything, or to tell all at once, or even to know beforehand all that we need to tell. But an honorable relationship is one in which we are trying, all the time, to extend the possibilities of truth between us, of life between us.
