Family, time, and a bigger smaller world

Christie came up with the idea for this blog, she is pretty fantastic with the ideas she has and the drive to bring and hold family close.  Between us we have a huge family, both extended and immediate, and in time where I know it is unlikely, I would love to see every member from our families represented here, in this place.  Some people we don't know well or at all, and in time maybe, hopefully that will be rectified.  Hopefully it won't just be a picture and a name, but instead a tightening of familial bonds.  For a large portion of us, we aren't very good at expressing verbally, but with ink and paper, or in this case a keyboard and screen our wings are spread.  For others it's through art and photography where we find our voices, or videos.  This is a wonderful place to express who we are and what we have been through and are going through, because with this all of these mediums are accessible.  The world has grown smaller with advances in technology, but it has also grown so immensely large.  With technology we are able to go so much further with such celerity that it is easy to forget to look back at where we were and where we came from.  With such a small world we have family so far flung that the old traditions of family reunions and gatherings are quite unrealistic, with family not just all over a county or state, but all over the country and world.  So here we can all meet and all gather in one place, even if not in person and catch up and progress and meet.  I sincerely hope to see everyone participate, and look forward to reading, viewing, and listening to your world.
