Music is alive and in your soul. It can move you.
Today I am a one year old Nexian. It seems like only yesterday that I decided to quit lurking and join the ranks, as this seemed like something I was meant to do, necessary even. Time is funny like that I suppose. The journey has been fantastic, to put it mildly and I have met a lot of wonderful folks.
The insights, wisdom, and guidance mixed with the humor, philosophy, and arguments topped with the music, sprinkled with art, and twice baked with literature. This is the Nexian, a favorite mental dish of mine. The more time I spend here, the more I learn and I could never express enough gratitude for all the things that get accomplished around here. And the people...you are all so crazy and lovable and even though I only know you through words written on a screen, it feels like I've known many of you my whole life. As "hippie" as it may be, I feel that we really are all connected in some form or fashion, even if I can't put my finger on it. That right there, is undeniably beautiful.
I'd have to say that one of my favorite things to do here (besides laughing hysterically in the chat room from time to time) is being able to share and read trip reports. It is like a blank canvas in which I paint the experience with words which can then be instantly peer reviewed and critiqued, as with anything posted on The Nexus. With many other forums, it seems like every other person is a potential troll, and you have to search through endless amounts of childlike behavior to get any sensible or useful information. That quickly becomes tiresome, as I'm sure many of you know. But I digress.
The point of this post is just to say thank you for allowing me to be a part of this community thus far. One year down and many, many more to come. As always, keep calm and SMOALK MOAR!
