Community

Today I went to a delightful BBQ deep in the canyons of Topanga hosted by a blogger and attended by those who read her daily postings.  The majority of people had never met before but the group was friendly, warm and familiar.  Many were connected by the loss of a loved one, an experience I don't share, and an interest in the afterlife, a fascination we all had in common.  One attendee was a concert violinist who regaled us with Bach.  Yes, the internet may cause some to isolate and others to be antisocial, but it also creates community, online and off.
