BUT, whats really important to me is that there is the sense of comitment and desire amongst you that doesnt rely on me. I'm thrilled to read these blog notes and Bob's invitation. Thrilled. I want you to have what I have had with my peers and what I feel that I have with some of the students that I meet here at the Academy. Marvellous. Vital. Mutual. Instructive. Provocative.

Let's get together! Even if its just the ...Yes! Let's get together! Even if its just the three of us. Since moving back to my parents 6 months ago... I have become a hermit. I got used to hosting parties and cooking dinners, now I have nowhere to do that.<br /><br />I too have no definite idea of what we are, but it makes sense. I think we are an evolving group. Our core is travel, art, inspiring one another, learning about each other... and the list will grow. <br /><br />I just told Bob the other night that I wasn't sure if I belong with the SOT since Jerry was the one who got me on the Savannah trip while we were dating. But then he made me realize I was just like the rest of the SOT, I met Jerry because we're both artists and shared similar views, and THAT'S why I became a Son. We're all connected somehow.<br /><br />Mondays-Wednesdays I am always free! I still need everyone's numbers.Diana Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16027599128031925288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313616767744482438.post-9628240350556930922011-04-04T14:27:31.173-07:002011-04-04T14:27:31.173-07:00Sounds good.

Because just as you said, many of you I've only met in the passing, and in those particular moments, I'm either way too shy to speak or focused on getting somewhere (class probably...)dani.dii.romhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02441840996163680634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313616767744482438.post-56016838299026970812011-04-04T13:27:05.951-07:002011-04-04T13:27:05.951-07:00Hi Dani!
I completely understand where you're...Hi Dani!<br /><br />I completely understand where you're coming from. I can safely say that I'm probably the oldest of the SoTs and have a little different perspective on the whole thing, but hopefully it won't sound like someone's weird uncle laying his two sense in... so here goes...<br /><br />Community is important. Some of us are extroverts and some introverts, but that doesn't mean that we are meant to live hermetical lives in isolation just because we might be focused inward most of the time. I, like you, desire for nights of sketching and wonderful conversation amidst my fellow Sons and believe that we can achieve more in our collective strength than any one of us can on our own. Community can be experienced in forums like this, but community is much more alive and powerful when there are warm bodies present and active. I feel your desire for true artistic community. I echo your sentiments.<br /><br />I didn't get much of a chance to know you while in school, and have only briefly met you in passing, so my connection to you is not as strong as many of our "brothers and sisters" here, but there is no reason we cannot find something to unite us. I think art nights are a great idea. I think dinner and conversation are great too. I think all of these things are not only possible but desired amongst many of us. <br /><br />So let's get together.<br /><br />I don't think we need to rigidly define what we are. That's a bit premature. Let's simply be for a while and see what rises out of us. Time and togetherness will tell...<br /><br />Anyone interested?Caleb Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03384120906285307536noreply@blogger.com
