Does anybody really know what time it is?

First thing that came to mind; seems to sum up the feeling pretty accurately. (Been feeling about a day ahead and several hours sideways.....) [I also find it fascinating that people will ask me questions about MH events even still to this day -- like, "what time is the thing at your house tonight?" -- even though I am not the main info. person listed in the e-mails and can search my e-mail just as inconveniently as they can. Then there are those times when the question reveals information to me I didn't even know....]

Shabbat continues to be my favorite MHSS event. We just consistently keep getting awesome people who contribute to -- create -- an atmosphere charged with positivity; I love it. I've also noticed that I really like cooking for a bunch of people and hosting a lot of friendly folks in the space where I live! Of course I knew that second part already -- that's what brought me to MH in the first place -- but I never would have suspected that I'd enjoy cooking for a bunch of folks like I do! It's very fun for me -- and very cool for me to realize this about myself!

Just completed a week-long teambuilding / leadership / group facilitation / ropes course training this past week. It was very, very cool. :) I love this kind of stuff; I'm quite grateful to have learned of the training and been able to attend. Fabulous learning-doing environment, excellent fellow participants and facilitators, and really quite amazingly cool to build upon and expand some of the skills and knowledge I have, and to acquire completely new skills and experiences I never bothered to imagine would be integrated into my life. -- Care to dangle from a cliff edge / rock / tree, anyone?

Been wondering quite a lot lately: if I were to leave MHSS tomorrow, what lasting impact would I have had? If all the residents were to magically cease to be residents: what would happen with the MHSS community? Would a community continue?; or is it like iron filings to a magnet: when we have events, a community comes into existance for that moment, then disperses.....some lingering, some now attached that weren't before, but for the most part a single-shot entity that leaves an impression but isn't its own solid unit, independent and self-surviving? We do a lot of giving at MHSS; but have we enabled? (Is that something anyone even wants from us? Maybe it's a moot point..........)
