A Little Bird’s New Year’s Message
Welcome to the New Year! Winter’s contemplative silence has brought into strong relief the silence of A Little Bird’s song for the community. The editors apologize for this lapse in our service. While perhaps there are excuses, we prefer to focus on realistic expectations and practical solutions in order to keep A Little Bird running smoothly. Our commitment is firm but we have realized that our time is limited. In 2010 we will be recruiting supporting editors so that more people within our community can help maintain the community’s information published on this site. A Little Bird will also recruit many more contributions to the events calendar from groups, individuals and festivals. Beyond events, however, our community has a strong voice that would be incredible to see on A Little Bird in the form of articles. Our editors would like to encourage that voice and will be taking more submissions for publication in 2010.
The United States is struggling with many issues at the moment, but our community can be stronger if we learn to rely on one another and contribute our energy as we are able. In the spirit of Stone Soup (where each piece isn’t enough, but together the community can build nourishment from its scarcity) we can build a community website that helps us spring stronger from the Earth this year.
