----------empyre- soft-skinned space---------------------- This past month of June we have taken pause to give as many of you who wanted a chance to share your current projects and interests. As we mentioned in our introductory post we have been thinking a lot about the next decade for -empyre as it continues to morph and grow. What has been a surprising delight is to get a sense of how diverse our subscriber list is. It has also been inspiring to hear the ways that many of you use the list. While some of you are active participants, many of you are readers for a variety of reasons...there are a few below that seemed to sum up the consensus...
" the discourse moves fast, and often by the time I have my thoughts together it has moved on" "I am a very active lurker, always on the verge of writing in response to postings, but never feeling the responses are ready for public scrutiny ..." "shy shy shy...." "a long-time lurker as well...The list has helped me to explore more in-depth subjects I am already familiar with, and to learn of practices and theories which are new to me" A special thanks to all of you who have posted this month and we are hoping you will all take some time to participate actively in the coming months. Welcome to Simon Biggs who will be hosting our July discussion. Best to all of you.
