- We reach out and touch here - we think about ourselves and others -
- we communicate. That's too important and reare to give up. I wouldn't
- be afraid to have anyone here meet me and talk to me in RL, I'm not
- afraid of anyone here laughing at me or not liking me for the
- differences between teh way I talk and teh way I look - I *know I
- don't have atail here, but's fun and freeing to have one in teh
- Place. Too much of any one thing may not be good, but I doubt if
- any/many people here are using the Place as a crutch after they need
- to. Shared pain is lessened, shared joy increased and how can teh
- manner of sharing dimish the truth and beauty of that.
-
- Mary and her whole MerryTail give kitten a hug back, then she wanders
- over to the line
-
- "To friendship and love - that's what we have here - and the
- liberation of imagination!"
