There is a moment of lonely when contention is the bloom I find while looking for connection, the lure of conversation; there is a moment of sadness as words become sharp blades to slash not links to build a bridge of friendship and of union; there is a moment of such loss my fingers shake and stumble on the keys to leave me wordless in the face of all the anger that has become the chorus and the song most often humming in the winds that echo through these threads to chill the soul and send it headlong to some more friendly harbour.
NO!!! NO!! Say it's not TRUE!! You've gone? Oh, D, please DON'T. The Kansan and I are SAD . How will I start my day without BB's blogs and poetry? Hope you'll come back REALLY SOON! Hope you'll at least "surf" through now and then. We'd love to hear from you at real email addresses if you aren't coming back to CS! Best of everything the world has to offer to you!
Aw Bajan, I really hope that you have not gone for good.
I have always thought you are so wise, good hearted, humourous, make great poetry and a great asset to the site..
I am sorry that any arguments that happen in the threads have caused you so much emotional hurt and heartbreak..
I think upsets and misunderstandings will always break out on here due to people having different opinions, people getting out of their beds the wrong side and whatever other reasons disagreements flare up...
It's not all negative though, what about the good threads that we have when we comfort and support each other. Also, we hear of people marrying each other on here so there is still a lot of positivity around here
I have heard you say before that you wish people would just take a break instead of leaving when it gets a bit much around here. So, I really hope you do follow your own wise words and come back to us at some point as I know I will miss you and others will too
There will surely be disappointments and disasters here, but I truly hope it makes you stronger.
I would like that you return and go by the expression, try and try again or as my Mom tells me, better to have loved and lost, then never to have loved...
Gosh I will miss you....you were there for me....in word and poetry during the depths of my illness these past few months..I cannot even express my gratitude....altho I have told you previously.....I hope all is well..and that you do reconsider....I know many many MANY of us love your words and your way with words...I shall truly , from the bottom of my heart you......

when contention is the bloom I find
while looking for connection,
the lure of conversation;
there is a moment of sadness
as words become sharp blades to slash
not links to build a bridge
of friendship and of union;
there is a moment of such loss
my fingers shake and stumble
on the keys to leave me wordless
in the face of all the anger that
has become the chorus and the song
most often humming in the winds
that echo through these threads
to chill the soul and send it headlong
to some more friendly harbour.
It breaks my heart.
