    Here and Now, I love you sleepy. I'm so, so sorry you are going through a painful time in your life. My heart hurts for you.

    Flash and heretogrow...I heard you both, I heard your struggles, I feel them coming from your words, and I am sending loving thoughts to you both. From my heart.

    Happy Birthday to the Village!
    We didn't know that first day, how much we would connect with each other.

    Thank you, Ulli ... it is your spirit that has made this an enduring place of unity.
    You call us back here and show us we can be better than we imagined.
    Or at least you've done that for me. I think others too.

    I don't post much anymore, but I still feel a part of this place.

    I had forgotten this was the village's birthday ... but in healing circle this morning, the circle was HUGE, stretching far out ... and I wasn't sure who all was there ... then realized it's the village and the souls who come here, those who wished to be a part of it.

    Love to All,
    Marianne

    Aww, look at this....a doggie in the Village.
    Do come in. Every morning I get a visitor, a fluffy poodle from one of the cabins at the end of the lane here, and it always makes these little yelping noises, until I open the door and give it some of the cats' food. Not half as pretty as your doggie, Bill.
    But your photo shows that you know something about my life here that you couldn't possibly even have guessed, and I never told anyone about this daily event. And now it has been replicated here in the Village, too.

    Anyway, sorry about the long explanation...good morning, EVERYONE!!!!!!!!

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY, VILLAGERS AND GUESTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    This is Mara. She's just a pup, and is the sweetest dog imaginable. I think she's a Black-nosed Andean Sheepdog, but if she knows her pedigree, she's not telling.

    I promise she won't chew the furniture, chase the cat, or eat the cake. She just needs her tummy tickled.

    CONGRATULATIONS TO THE HERE AND NOW THREAD... Amazing place, amazing people! With much deep gratitude to Ulli for founding this special village.

    (I think Bill may have spoken too quickly about the dog eating the cake!) This fellow just dropped in!

    Well whaddya know...

    I woke up this morning, and after pushing through some distortions I found myself looking forward to the day.

    Chai, anyone?



    Raising my cup to everyone here
    Yes, absolutely. Some Chai Tea, Then some Tai Chi... Happy Birthday, Village!!

    Having 722 posts in this [or 2.1 % of this] thread,
    looks like i feel more at home here, than in my 3d abode.

    No wonder: No metropolis can ever reach The Village Spirit.

    So: Happy birthday to us. And: Thank you, Ulli, Mother of Invention!

    Here we go, heretogrow:

    Bill changed the title of the thread to let everyone know about this party. But small computer screens still only show the words "Here and Now...." So perhaps if each one who comes here brings as many guests as they wish, eventually everyone on the forum will know about the invitation.
    Or maybe say "Birthday Party at the Here and Now"...then it's harder to miss the headline
