The Silver Net of the World

I’ve been blogging since November, putting words out into the world. Where do they go? My daughter set me up with HiStats so I could track reader locations. The results were unexpected. As I watched for the cities show up on my tracking system, it became clear that many friends who asked for the link didn’t look at it.

Most of those who have been looking are people I've never met. All part of my mysterious web of connection. I imagine this as a shimmering gauzy silver fabric with wonderful properties. It's the kind of thing the ally gives the quester in a fairy tale, to help with the achievement of the three difficult tasks. Each of us, I think, is part of a great silver net that resonates with and sustains others. This vibration is helping strangers find my blog. Perhaps these net fellows find something of value in my words. Maybe just an idea, maybe a line or two. Some little phrase that comes at the right moment, vibrates strongly. Story is powerful.

Thanks for your comment, Lucy. Where are you, I’ve travelled a bit, and in my life here in the balmy southwestern corner of Canada, I’ve met people from all over the world. But I’ve never met anyone from Malaysia, Mauritius, New Haven, San Francisco, Washington, DC, Calgary, London, Glasgow or Manchester. Still, people there have somehow found this blog. How does it happen? We must all belong to the same silver net. The little one, I mean. There's a really big net too. All of us are part of that one.
