Many thanks to those who have posted pics.  To some it may seem like a small thing but I think it's an act of courage; it's not always so easy to allow oneself to be seen.  I think the pictures make us more real to each other.  They foster connection and ever so slightly bridge the gap between the virtual and "real" worlds.  As for myself, I'm not quite ready.  Maybe someday.  It's odd that sharing a picture of my physical presence would seem so challenging when I've shared so many other details of my life here over the years.  I guess we're all different and I've got to honor where I am in the moment.  This thread will remain as an invitation for some future less neurotic version of myself to take the leap.  

 

I dont think its odd .  You can say whatever you like  because we dont know who you are .

 

Put your picture up and when you walk down the street people be   snickering behind your back:    "  There goes that liminal_luke guy .... did you know he spends  all his money buying his cat wine ? "  " No, But I heard he keeps a preserved marmoset  penis in a jar of pickles!"

 

( Well, you know how gossip 'evolves'  )

He looks very high spirited in his picture. :)  So clearly he monitors his spirit levels. :P

Not as spooky as it sounds I'm afraid.  I've always been a person with multiple goals and I can be a bit, um, obsessive about keeping track of my progress (or lack thereof).  Some months back, I decided that I might be more motivated if I hung huge calendars with everything I want to accomplish on my bedroom walls.  A spirit calendar is a calendar dedicated to the tracking of my spiritual practices.  I also put up a calendar to track writing exercises I was doing, dietary goals, workouts...etc.  In hindsight, the project seems a bit more "group home resident" than "wandering taoist master" but hey, it was fun.

Exactly, that’s what I thought. So I deleted my post as irrelevant.

You know I’ve been on here since 2007 and I don’t think people here were ever as nice as they are now.   It’s quite a lovely atmosphere sometimes.  I know there are still spats occasionally but nothing compared to the old days.  Perhaps we had to go through all that to get here but which ever way it’s quite an achievement I think.

The asking was perfectly alright by me.
What I do not like is the quoting of a post that already was deleted.

I think is that precisely why?
 



Steve, buddy--you have misattributed the quote to me.  You will have to ask liminal_luke,  although I don't know if he's really willing to go there right now.

 

p.s.--I see where he went there, yay Liminal!

do you delete because you think your thoughts are not worth posting?  Cos I think this place thrives on everyone sharing their ideas freely.
