I have been catching up on my reading today…
and found out that two of the blogs I have been following are now gone.
I was a bit shocked and sad to learn of their demise.
But for all that, I mostly feel gratitude.
Because for a brief period of time a connection has been forged into being…
and as a reader, whether the author have known it or not, I learn from their writings and been inspired.
i am a child of a loving Father.... 
This happens to all bloggers plus me.
I have a message and a reply for you at WPWG 🙂
very nice sentiments. wish I had thought of it.
and I am expropriating (stealing) the image of the fountain pen, fyi. 😀
Thanks guys for the comments.
Gryph steal it with my blessings. I’ve gotten it from the web 🙂
Pochp, read your message at WPWG and left you a message too.
So eloquently put. We all inspire one another more than we think. Some of us find a simple small connection and we hang on for hope that the connection will grow stronger, whereas with others we just stop by and read in admiration but only just once. I am happy to read your posts and you inspire me.
@ Justin – Such a sweet thing to say, thank you. You already know that I’m a fan of your poetic prose.
Btw, I learned we’re both Librans so maybe it’s one reason why we like each other’s writings.
