I've noticed that it's customary to thank followers. But I haven't done it before now
I didn't understand that every kind of feedback in this Humblr site is like a link in the chains I'm struggling with -- slowly
I don't think much about the size of my chain -- or the number of my followers. But I know each of the links in chains are important in ways I need to figure out. This I do care about.
So, thank you -- each of you -- for what you've done (even when I don't "get it" yet)

In a context of grief, I've been thinking a lot about chains which hold me in the past. I can't distinguish between love and chains. I must let go. I want to hold on. I can't figure it out.
I construed it as a good omen when I discovered an image of chains here. This rope repair in this chain makes it the most important image I've found online in November.
The answer to questions I can't put into words is captured by this photographer. I just have to wait until understanding comes to me.

@chikara @Fslowly Very nice post, Chikara.
I am glad to know you liked the patched chain image - which I discovered in the Net, found interesting and posted in a message here yesterday..
That it is the most important image you have seen this month is meaningful to me as well - it means what I am doing is meaningful and important.
I had different reactions upon first seeing the image; the first one, that it was a 'hack', a quick fix, obviously weaker than and compromising the strength of the rest of the chain.
But - later I looked at it and discovered the other side of the picture.
It is indeed an ingenious fix, a simple solution to connecting two shorter lengths into a longer one when needed.
While still being easily reversible when desired, stored and ready for the next time it's needed.
An elegant and simple solution. The best kind there is.
Have a good night, and thank you. 🌆
