In the last week I have apparently added just enough friends from the old CAW crew that I'm now getting everyone who was associated with CAW in my "People you may know" list. It's sparking some discomfort and some "need to get over it" feelings.

On the one hand, I celebrate and honor the old positive energy that was part of CAW. But I fear the old

One of these days when I have nothing better to do, I will go set up profiles at all these places people want me to connect on. There must be half a dozen of them (Facebook, MySpace, hi5, SecondLife, Tribe.net, FetLife, I'm sure I am forgetting at least one). They all seem to have interesting features -- that "people you might know" thing seems kind of cool in theory.

Know what you mean though, about the CAW thing. Potential for reopening old sores. And the specter of the ugliness out on the edges. Not sure what to tell you on that. Myself, I favor the getting/staying in touch even with a good many people I find difficult...but I have a high tolerance for "emotional intensity".

I think I guessed a long time ago about ordered/comfortable versus journey towards ecstasy. And chose, at considerable cost,ecstasy.

I have noticed your tolerance for whatever-you-want-to-call-it! I observe some folks that I won't interact with because it seems to cause them more emotional trauma when I do interact. Still observe, though :)

BTW: I don't think one forgoes ecstasy entirely when one embraces order. I'm not sure yet though! I just need more balance for myself; when I was constantly "out there" I was irresponsible and hurt myself and others. I don't care to be like that anymore.
