The Fourth Year


A friend and reader emailed me recently and asked me how much longer I would continue to do this blog. She wrote,

"So what about replacing yourself with several people. So what about soliciting your most interesting writers from your favorite blogs to come over and do one day a week? So what about the blog becoming a sort of magazine? And you write one day a week and manage the schedule?

You probably need to get untied from the daily responsibility so that other creative opportunities can be possible. Remember evolution... periods of homeostasis, plateaus of no change, and then boom! big change, big change, big change..... free yourself up so you will be able to be in the place most useful with the energy to take on an elephant."

In fact, I get a lot of help with this effort. Just look at the poetry section below and you can see how much SB has contributed. Respectisthehub has pitched in too. And concerned folks like David T. send me their letters, which I often use. Some folks send me pictures, some send me videos.

But given that I just spent three hours updating Contents III, perhaps my pal has a point.

If you are reading, and you have something to say in words or in pictures, or in video, and it fits within the earthfamilyalpha context, and you would like to share it with a global audience, tell us at earthfamilyalpha at hotmail.com.

Perhaps the fourth year will be the beginning of something different.

And You can be a part of that difference.
