Many thanks to all

Okay, I'm signing off for this, the first day of 2005. (According to our ridiculous Gregorian calendar view of time.)

I've been "down in the back" for three days, and sitting in one place is not pleasant. Unfortunately, I am addicted to chronicling the insanity of our political times.

I want to thank all of you, sincerely - all my readers, new, long-time, critical, accepting, dedicated, and sporadic - not so much for reading You Will Anyway, but for caring enough about our strange world and what's beneath the surface to investigate what's going on.

Thank you all for being.

A special thanks to all of you who encourage me, whether it be notes and emails or website links to YWA or wonderful comments on your own blogs, like this:

New Blogs to read. All the new bloggers in Montana, new blogs from friends, and some downright insightful progressive viewpoints. (For the record, I think that You Will Anyway is one of the absolute best progressive blogs anywhere, and I sincerely hope that it takes its place alongside the big boys of Atrios, Pandagon, etc ...)

I apologize for the horn-tooting aspect of posting that comment which I found at A Chicken Is Not Pillage (a blog I read regularly and which you can always access from a link in the left sidebar of YWA), but it caught me by surprise, and I am very grateful to the blog author, Wulfgar, for plugging YWA unsolicited (and over the top, in my own mind). YWA will never make it anywhere near the "big boys", but it won't matter, because I'd write it even if nobody ever read it. I have to.

But, you don't have to read it, and so, please accept my thanks for being here. And for being. I believe that the energy exchanged in my writing of the words and your reading of them is a subtle but powerful energy, apart from the text or context of the issues, that connects us all, and, I believe, is taking us into the next realm of human existence as we morph into or recognize ourselves for what it is we truly are.

Some times it doesn't look like the human race is evolving at all, but devolving. And I have a feeling the next few years are going to look even worse.

Your words of support and encouragement really are what keeps my head above the often times raging waters.

So...

Thank you for being.
