Today is Labor Day...I wonder if we're having classes tonight? As usual, we all forgot about the off-week - including the teacher. Guess I'll find out when I get there if I don't hear anything.
I began a forum on Delphi yesterday - Tribe of the Ghostchildren. Here's what I wrote about the 'why' of it:
What is a Ghostchild?
Traditionally, a ghostchild is one who has some Native American blood but doesn't recognize or know it. Some say that because they, or their ancestors, have turned their backs on their heritage, they are like ghosts unable to return home because they don't know where home is. I chose Tribe of the Ghostchildren for this forum because 1.) I have Native American blood but am unable to 'prove' it and wouldn't want to claim it anyway and 2.) I recently found myself leaving a path I have walked for 10 years and feeling very much that I didn't know how to 'get home'. It's my wish that together, we can - if we can't find a way home - build it ourselves. Here's to tryin'.
I discovered after I posted the message that I forgot to put all HTML code in there except for italics. I suppose I was intent on just getting that content out.
I get the feeling that this is more of what I was meant to do rather than the way the Tennessee Spirit Unity Alliance went. That got entirely out of hand. I didn't want all the political stuff to come in to it - I just wanted to have a place where people could talk, feel safe and hopefully not feel so separated and cut off from everyone else. Instead, it got bogged down in administrative stuff and the 'how we gonna do it' instead of the 'why'. Right from the start, it started going off target. I think it's time that the Alliance went offline - I never was any good at administration, anyway.
I don't know why I feel such a need to do stuff like this. (I'm not complaining.) I don't know how to put it in words yet...except that it is the right thing to do.
