A Message from the Editor

First some more thoughts about f-b, also known as f---book or face----.
Reading and seeing pictures from friends lives is sort of like reading a magazine each person has been publishing about choosen subjects, hopefully without fear of censorship. Each issue shared is perfectly suited for the computer age being short in length and it is all very interesting reading.
I have shifted my primary focus to Friday Showing with less focus on f-b. As everyone knows or finds out it is very hard to shift attention away from f-b no matter how noble the thought may be. A writer just wants to write and has some ideas which are perhaps best expressed in a certain way and f-b is good for stimulating, in my case not just my 'let’s save the world' condition but other more personal thoughts as well.
Let’s say; article, message, publication, rant, piece, story and some others are often thought of as solutions, what to call this 'stuff'. I decided this afternoon, the best answer is writing, my writings or a writing or wait maybe letter or sutra. No my ‘writings’ does not imply anything other than I know how to put words on a screen or if pressed on paper.
We can share writing about things or people, the later usually being the most interesting especially with images. In short my appreciation here is for the mutual desire to share both in me and with others. The final words being, I keep my own sense of balance by spending time with people. Real people because the f-b and computer world is, no matter how humanistic I try to be in writing words and sharing pictures, virtual and is not being with such people
My greatest appreciation is being able to visit and meet with people some of which still do not have a computer or use fxb, a lot. I find it enlightening. It is a Buddhist activity.
