@Nomadwarmachine @lauraritchie @tellio @dogtrax Critical mass for conversations is hard.
And I've become quite okay with letting tumbleweed tumble by from time to time - especially when many of the usual suspects are traveling around the countryside, around the world really.
@ShorterPearson @dogtrax @tellio @Nomadwarmachine Hopefully you mean it's tumbleweed at your work. Here there is something different. For example, I have plenty to say, but the things I choose to say are just that- chosen, and it creates the space around you.
It's 5:45am. I can't sleep. I promise it's not tumbleweed, but (figuratively) a fierce electric storm here the wind has lifted me straight off the ground. I like to be tethered and off the ground, but not this way.
saying that... (cont)
@Nomadwarmachine @tellio @dogtrax @ShorterPearson you are right that sometimes there is silence here. It takes people to talk- sometimes people (me certainly) say things that are (hopefully) valuable, but not necessarily conversation starters.
It's like the table. If we want to eat at the table, someone needs to make the food- and this is far more a home than a restaurant, so we're our own cooks. There's always a spare chair and is good to stop (for me), even if to watch tumbleweed.
