Coming Full Circle

I feel compelled to at least write once on this blog. Here I had forgotten that back in August of 2007, I had attempted to setup an account here at eBlogger and had apparently abandoned the idea. I feel nostalgic about it and keep wanting to delete this blog titled “Pictures/Thoughts,” but something wont let me just yet. Funny thing is when I saw that name as I reattempted to begin again at this site, I thought that was the default that was given to my blog. Even when I saw the date: Member since August 2007, I thought to myself, “they really should get their dates fixes.” Then it all came back to me, I was taken back to that time when something in me was yearning to share, but I never did. How strange it is to be back here, again coming full circle, as seems to happen with many aspects of life—a natural progression. I don’t know if I will continue to post my thoughts to this blog, but who knows. But I do plan on posting to my newly created blog RebbReflections when something stirs in me.

And really I wouldn't be back here if it were not for Luciana--thank you, Lu. You pulled me into your ocean... And I probably still wouldn't have posted if not for seeing Dr. Jitu's blog and if not for Vincent's words of encouragement. Thank you all for somehow pulling me into the ocean where it felt a little bit more familiar.

Well, Rebb, our life is what we think and feel, and the written word many times helps us give form to that. I´m so happy that you came to swim in my ocean... :-)

Rebb, we must thank Luciana for that. I was here before one year, posted so many things..... no body visited.So I deleted every thing.I did not know how to delete account and blogs name.So 'thinkers page' stayed here all alone.Then we all were busy at Redroom, and one fine day Luciana invited me here,once more at my old home. Isn't it amazing? merygoround of changes.

Nicely said, Lu. Last night I was pondering the ocean. I've always loved it, but last night I seized on the massiveness of it and how terrifying it can be to swim in it alone. On the other hand, alone is a matter of perspective, I suppose. And when I am in tune with nature, I am never truly alone. That thought alone brings me great comfort.

Dr. Jitu, yes, nice of Lu to open her ocean to us. That's interesting that you and I have been here before and then found our way to RR and then back again. Isn't life funny! Yes, and amazing too!

I tend to challenge people on their blogs, Rebb, more than encourage them. But I don't argue with anyone I don't respect. Blogging is magical. It lets you ignore the millions and discover those you feel comfortable with, even if you don't always agree with them!

Yes, blogging is sort of magical, Vincent. Hadn't thought of it that way, but yes I do see it. And challenge keeps moving us forward.

Hi all,

I'm reading backward, and my goodness, I love swimming in the ocean, too. And guess what? I also have my account left in this place somewhere. I know some of my past blogs with photos have been deleted by the owner, Yokohama Theatre Group. I didn't know how it really worked when I started. But I know somehow I managed to keep one thread. I have to find it and restart later.

Keiko, you're swimming backwards--hee-hee. :) How could I resist...

Looking forward to your blog down the road.
