I find the poem realistic, rather than pessimistic.

Even though I'm not a scorpio!

[Shannon]

Thanks McCoy! I don't find it pessimistic either.  :-). Not at all. And I am only a Scorpio when someone wants to give me that label.  I am an infinite being!   Ha ha.  I do not know who said it, but I love this quote: "I am not who you think I am.  You are who you think I am."  Brilliant!

Hello Shannon

As you may know we had a site crash in the last two days. during that period somehow your paintings were corrupted when that happened they were no longer at the top of the forum. Fortunately for me i was able to read the captions you spent time putting in although the paintings were gone. Soon i hope to find a way to get them back!

No biggie; honestly I did not want to ask you to take them down since you put them up on your own, but did feel a bit uncomfortable having them stare at me each time I visited.  Lol.  Sometimes we want a change of scenery, you know?  If you were trying to make me feel comfortable here, I appreciate the gesture.  Use them if you want, or not.  It is not a big deal.  :-)

P.s. Glad you got the board back.  Mercury in retrograde!  Lol.

They have your vibration all over them. It exudes from them. It is very comforting Shannon Leigh. i have pictures and paintings from friends. They have left part themselves with me. u probably can't even imagine. Or maybe u can.

i remember being at a friends house and reaching behind the couch to plug in a musical amplifier. What i saw i can never express the effect it had on me. It was a large picture behind the couch of an owl. A wonderful owl that gazed into the depths of your soul. People have often been very generous to me and have acted quite unusual to me in my life. Just out of the blue this friend said to me.... ' You really like that owl don't u?' i said 'yes Jon'. He immediately handed it to me with out a second thought in his mind and said 'U can have it. It is taking up space here.'

He just didn't realize. He just didn't realize what it meant. Being the representation of death and rebirth my friend suddenly got sick and in a few months made his transition. That painting goes everywhere with me. It has been across the country and back. Here it is. U can see a close up at the beginning of the video: Not me the painting behind me! That owl looks like it has gone thru some hardship by the surroundings but it has learned much and its wisdom is written in the eyes which r very soulful and human like. It looks into us as if to ask.... 'and what my friend r u doing with your life? In one unselfish moment. In one unselfish way. Tell me what you goina do with your life? Tell me what u goina say?'

Probably from all those post moves, pointers in the database being repointed all the time, killed the DBMS.

Maybe time to at least move the site to another host, get the data and the pages to a new host like godaddy or something, not really that expensive. When that is accomplished, then concentrate on layout/design and changes you want. Sounds like they almost lost it all. I might even donate time and money if you start being nicer.

i wonder though. Is it possible that we could combine and be one forum? Would anyone b interested in that idea? Like having two forums with different ways of getting to them. i notice Shannon has more than one page on Yoganandaji.org  The art work is quite beautiful there. Perhaps i am mistaken but i assume she is repsonsible for that.

Or is that too far fetched for everyone? Just an idea here. What i see is businesses constantly joining up together and becoming stronger doing so. i remember using a Nextel phone and suddenly it was now a Sprint phone because they merged. i also remember using Old Kent Bank suddenly it became Huntington Bank. Perhaps this business analogy is a bad one. But i can see myself changing. One can always ask is it for the better? Both parties can ask that.

Anything is possible, doing that would require a good bit of planning, and a lot of custom import script writing. Not sure that would be a great idea since it may turn out to be like other larger forums that attract problems. I would KISS it (acronym that a few dang smart teachers would say, Keep It Simple Stupid)

It would b interesting to hear what Shannon thoughts are on this issue. Perhaps she will respond. When people do not respond i take it as an implicit way of saying: "i am not interested." That is a personal insight i have gained throughout the years.

It seems to me that it is nice to get to know one another better. It is very difficult for me to have administrators here on this forum without even being able to contact them and talk to them by phone. The main emphasis here is not business but rather spiritual affinity and divine friendship. i have seen people--even here--who seem to forget what the purpose is and engage in divisive activity. If we cannot agree to disagree it becomes a challenge. This issue goes beyond the current theme of this thread.

No; i don't think that is the case. Our host was also shut down as well.

I have given you my number more than once, if you lost it let me know. I agree the intent is spiritual. But again, I say the immediate need is to move this site to another host that is reliable, likely will have to pump the data into a different forum, not SMF, and then think about merges and features. Steps at a time, instead of one large one.

Just a joke. BTW I posted this twice the first time it vanished. I would be worried about data.

O.K.

About your other post...Thanks Jeff Yes i have your phone number programmed in my phone; it would b nice to connect again. You r welcome to phone me as well! Have a gig performing music tonite..... but we should connect soon again!

i am thinking out loud here. It might b that Shannon's art works 'expired' being from photo bucket. Is that possible Shannon?

i believe the scope of this discussion has gone beyond this thread so i will take it up at the top of the forum.
