“What we leave behind is not as important as how we have lived - for we are all but mortal”
J-L Picard
What once was will soon be no longer. There is - for all things in all ways - a proper place and time. Rome arose
and grew from the 7 hills to a great Republic and later Empire. Artists, musicians and scribes paint and sculpt,
compose and perform, write and publish. Sculptures are found in galleries and museums. Symphonies and
Sonatas are performed in concert. Words of the scribes are found in scrolls, manuscripts and books.
Sometimes the paintings and sculptures are lost, the music misplaced, and the words forgotten. We are all mortal.
Sometimes our works survive us - sometimes they do not.
“Don’t grieve. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few - or the one”
J. T. Kirk.
Changes. Openings. New ddirection’s. New opportunities. New possibilities and potentials.
From where we are we step forward to where we will be. The Mystic Witch Forum is closing.
As the Forum’s Administrator I have seen years of comments and countless subjects and topics.
The Forum has presented everything from “Daily Chatter” to the “Den of Zen” and the “Spirit Garden".
Soon all of that will be gone. All we will have remaining are our memories and reflections.
“People can be very afraid of the future. Welcome to the Undiscovered Country.”
J. T. Kirk
What once was will soon be gone and be only a reflective memory.
Does the infant always remain an infant?
Does the tiny plant seed always remain a seed?
The infant grows, develops and becomes the child, then the adult.
The seeds sprout and the plant pushes up and a flower blossoms.
For Mystic Witch the Forum was - and is - that seed of something greater.
Lesser to Greater - from what was to what what will be.
“Look where you intend to go - not where you are afraid to go.”
Where then do “we” go?
How then do “we” get there?
The Mystic Witch Forum will soon close.
For myself - I am working towards resurrecting my “Spirit Garden” sub-forum elsewhere on the web.
For the visitors and occasional contributors there is - and will be when it returns - Romantha’s.
The main Mystic Witch site is not closing. Articles, poetry, recipe’s and guidance, direction and inspiration will still have a home there.
There is even the not-so-dim and not-so-distant possibility that even “Den of Zen” may find a second life beyond the Forum.
From where “we” are to where “we” need to go.
“Second star on the right - and straight on till morning”
“If our reach does not exceed our grasp - how then do we reach heaven?”
Robert Browning
Let’s see what’s out there.
