I agree with you Jed about this place being full of rage. It was not long ago I thought the same thing and hoped to come here and see a song challange or write a poem using 100 words or just something a bit lighter then politics, fear and talk of war.
I find myself staying away from most of those threads now because people seem so sure we are going to war, and I don't care to put the thought of it in my head on a continuous basis. I am a believer that thought process creates reality and I don't want war to be my reality.
It does seem like it's been awhile since there was a song challange out there. When I first came here I thought, " Wow! This is one amazing, talented, and inspiring group of people!" And it still is, but just laying low for now is seems.
I still love it here and all of you!
