Good share, Scott. I became oddly reflective on the weekend as well, but for different reasons, and as a result of different session.

It has been a challenging week, and being reminded of the common experiences we share as humans, and the things we learn from each other when we take the time to listen, was exactly what I needed to hear. Your thoughts on the "potential depths of authentic expression held by blogs" are so true, and this is the reason I keep blogging, and the reason I blog so openly. I take a chance and put my hat into the ring, and if I am all alone there, then I blog for myself. But when others throw their hat into the ring as well, then we have relationship, and then we have community, and then we are not so alone anymore. You are welcome to link any time. Also, thanks to <a href="http://www.julieleung.com/" rel="nofollow">Julie Leung</a> for calling this post out to me. Scott,

The idea that I might have upset either of you in my slightly distressed state when in fact I wanted to thank you for your honesty and courage was the only thing that worried me, and you have put my mind at ease. I look forward to learning more from you both and to meeting you again. Namaste. Chris and Jenni, thanks especially to both of you for coming in here to comment.

I learned an important lesson at NV: I have been *way* overthinking the idea of the personal in my blog posts. Using it purely as a tool to network with other edubloggers has been worthwhile, but it doesn't get at the heart of why I blog in the first place. Which isn't to say that Ruminate will become a personal journal-- I'll still try to channel a lot of that to Cosmopoetica-- but I do plan to let loose of the reins a bit. There are millions of bloggers, but there is only one of each of us-- if we don't let the personal and idiosyncratic in somehow most of the value is lost...
