In support of your quest for full galsses, I will let you know that us droplets love to hear about and see images of those times when you are gulping down glass after glass. Bottom line. The more full your physical life, the more interesting your digital life. Drink up friend and let it dribble down your chin.
Big love!

I feel you on this and struggle with the same attraction to home and managing the network from the safe cocoon vs. out in the energetic river of possibility where all takers and givers come at once. For those who love with great openness and intention it is often not easy to be in the presence of hundreds of good people at the same time. We desire deep connection yet the settings are often not conducive; the messy work of intimate bonding includes finding balance in the tough places where real and virtual meet.

“I see digital intimacy like guy wires for a tent on the playa, and physical connections as tent poles. The tent & poles can probably survive without the guy wires, but the tent and the guy wires are useless without the poles themselves.” Genius!! I love it! (And I love YOU.)

I hear you! My favourite week of the year is at Burning Man, where I can’t go 10 feet without a genuine smile, a moment of potential connection, a hug if I asked for one or offered one. The rest of the year, as much as I keep up with my Burner friends around the globe online, I still love going to the parties and events and physically seeing friends….even if it’s just for a quiet night together hanging out, a walk by the beach.

I see digital intimacy like guy wires for a tent on the playa, and physical connections as tent poles. The tent & poles can probably survive without the guy wires, but the tent and the guy wires are useless without the poles themselves.

Thank you for sharing yourself online and in person!
