I was inspired by this quote from David Haslam today whilst trolling through PlanetISKCON... I remain reliant on the Internet, each class posted by the Melbourne devotees, each piece of devotional music more precious than the finest of diamonds. I started this blog in 2001 and of late I've been contemplating writing for it more often. I originally conceived of the site as a vehicle for us to share spiritual life. It wasn't meant to be a place just for me. As it is this year I've been way too busy to write having taken on more managerial responsibility than is probably healthy. That's another story. What prompted me to get back into it, at least for today was the simple statement from David quoted above. At least if noone is writing it has been satisfying to see the daily class go up. In fact I get upset if it doesn't. I don't listen to the classes myself but I know many of my friends do. It's a way for them to stay connected. It's important. I'd like to thank Rasanandini, Tim and Nanda Mandir for keeping the blog going, especially for keeping the daily class happening. I'd also like to invite anyone who has an idea for a story or a contribution to please let us know. We can find a way to fit you in. Oh, and as far as ownership goes we are happy to share. We should probably make a statement to that affect somewhere on the site. If persons want to use our materials they are welcome but we would like to see our work acknowledged. You can use it but it would be nice if you told everyone where you got it from and link back to the page it came from originally. That's fair isn't it? Book distribution is exciting even in a one horse Texas town... An African-American lady asked, "Why have you come to Cameron?" They told her why and added that they didn't think the people would be interested. She gave a donation for a Gita and said, "Oh, you'd be surprised. People are smart in this town. We read a lot." |
