About Blogging
This is a photograph that was taken from the net and that was used in a presentation by Margarete Oliviera and I in the CTJ seminar this year. It exemplifies diversity of peoples, cultures, ways of thinking and at the same time, united in a circle.
I think this is what we have gone through these two weeks. The last one with the millions of options of different sites and possible activities with all the tools we can find available.
This week brought us the possibilities with blogs; blogs as a form of self-manifestation, an opening your heart to the world, not only to your best friends. Mary Hillis has shown us in her flowgram the fantastic possibility of getting responses from all over the world to such personal topics as "my favorite sweet". Who would have imagined of sharing ones tastes with anybody but family or at most a best friend. Now here we are, sharing this with people living in Japan or Czecholosvakia for all we know. And at the same time discovering what a vast diversity this world of cultures has to offer us to open our eyes.
