a day late...

...& a dollar short

of honoring joe tree

but that doesn’t mean - i can’t still pay tribute - and it’s my journal - so i am - because it’s worth it - blip is, that is

what joe tree did for us - this community, all those years ago - is nothing short of amazing - in those days - it was quite revolutionary i imagine - a bit rogue, yet - he did it anyway - and though we’ve had our struggles - a bit of a community scare - believing the site might - be disbanded, the troops rallied - together because that’s what community does - and we survived

based on very old fashioned values - and principles where people - are vested in decency, trust - and kindness towards each other - not the nastiness so often - observed in the world - at large, blip has thrived - for me it has been - a healing lifeline of over - 10 years now - including the forging of friendships - around the world - and viewing abba’s planet - through the lens - of a camera - it feels like joe has - given us the opportunity - to celebrate simple things - on an ongoing basis - and i wanted to take - the time, even if it is late - to say thank you - since it’s that which has made it...

a

happy day.....
