I love getting to know my readers, and seem to have acquired a small following of thoughtful people in the last year. I’ve come to know them by the remarks they attach to my blog items: there’s Pacific231, Kathryn, Eevie Keys, Stacey-Robin, Daijinryuu, KWiz, elmo, Brian, Chanteuse and numerous others, and then there is Daria who up until recently posted heavily almost every day.

But Daria hasn’t posted in three weeks and I find myself wondering where she’s been, if she made a conscious decision to put her energies elsewhere, or if she’s at a retreat center meditating. I’m left with guesses and projections. It’s funny, these virtual relationships, eh? Paging Daria. What’s up, friend?
