Ah Shy one, go back and read the words of all these good people one more time. And believe what they say, for they are wise indeed.

At the Getaway, I found myself thinking that I'd love to just sit and talk with people. I often think when I'm in an airport or restaurant or other crowded place, that if I could have an hour to sit down and listen to the story of any one of those people, I'd be amazed at the story that would unfold, and my life would be richer for it. I feel that way at the Getaway, too, but the weekend is about sharing music so I have to learn who they are through their music and the snippets of conversation we may be able to have here and there.

Shy One, you've asked about trust and how to "get it." You've taken a huge leap in that direction by expressing your feelings here, and surely you've noticed that you were "caught" by all these loving people. Ah, your Getaway experience continues......

One more thought, perhaps next year on your name tag, you should write Shy One in fine print and watch what happens.

Now Tannywheeler, about that medication......

"Next year, I'll make you part of the band....... " Ebbie, beware those words. I heard them once.....sniff......
