I’ve been thinking about you lately.
Yes, you!
As a blog reader, you are part of an amazing community of curious, caring, clever, and compassionate primates.
The community that has developed around the blog is very special.
It’s one of my favorite things about being a part of this sanctuary. I often look forward to reading blog comments as much as the blog posts themselves. I love hearing from people who are “silent” community members too.
Being the social primates that we are, having a community is important to us humans. Just as important as it is for our fellow non-human primates.
The idea that a human community has formed around the stories and care of a special non-human community is pretty cool.
Like all primate communities, members join and leave, and the community shifts and adapts.
I have been thinking about this blog community and how to celebrate you more. How to bring us all together in other ways. How to inform you of community members who have passed on. How to celebrate you.
This season seems like the perfect time to ponder this, so please let me know if you have ideas.
As we look back on the year of CSNW, I wanted to share how much I value you. You bring inquiry, insights, and inspiration (I’m apparently into alliteration today) to the work that we do.
I can’t imagine this sanctuary without you.
