Reflections….

[miladycarol]

I am safely home from Orycon and I already miss being there with my loved ones. I barely participated in any panels, didn’t play any games and I never even made it to the Art Show. I spent almost all of my moments with my precious friends. I am so honored to have them in my life, even if it is far too rare that I see them. I always feel very loved, very respected and very treasured when they are around. I walked on a cloud the whole time.

I feel loved every day of my life, but somehow it is magnified when the amount of loved ones surrounding me increases. naudiz correctly phrases it as Tribe. These people are my tribe, my clan. I can feel completely and utterly loved with just one person but it amazes me how much more intense and abundant that love can feel when more of my Clan are around. I am truly fortunate to have found such amazing people and I hope that I am always worthy of their love and affection. It may sound rather sappy, but it is so true. It is such an unequaled feeling to walk around feeling so secure and knowing that when these people are around, there is nothing that can’t be accomplished by all of us together. It is a feeling of community. I love it. If I could, I would build a place that could house us all so we would always have each other for support and nurturing.

I was thrilled to finally meet thekitsune. It was an honor. I hope to see you again soon.

I was sorry to have missed winnett. *sigh* Better organization will be made for next year.

Okay, off to work.

I am so happy you had such a grand time. I think I might get a room next year again, this was one of the first years I didn't. I live so close, but it is still fun to go.

It is nice to hear that you have such a close knit family. I used to have that, but it is hard to build again. Oddly enough my loving boyfriend is one of the reasons I don't have it as much. He is a bit possessive of me and my time at these events. But I still got to see friends and be around people I enjoy, which makes it all worth it.

It was great to finally meet you as well.

I had a great time too. I really felt like a part of the clan thanks to you and naudiz. Thanks again. Nothing beats being part of the group.

Gee, I don't even think we had enough time to spend with one another. I'm glad you felt comfortable, though. These weekends really ought to last at least a week... well, under the condition that they fumigate the game room every other day. *smirk*

Youse my kind of people Carol. Tribe is perfect. What other freaks spend so much of our life crafting baeutiful imaginary places and live to play. I love our people.

I think that is why we flock to each other. I love our people too. We are tribe, we are clan, we are family.

I know what you mean. I'm not much more than a new fringer in your tribe, but it still felt really nice to hang with you guys. I really like Micheal and Suzan, by the way. Very cool people.
I miss the sense of tribe up here. Our crew up here is much smaller, and sometimes it seems we are a tribe of just a few. I miss my own days of being part of a clan.
