Call for love has been here for one year. I couldn't find out the exact date it was opened but it was close to the end of March in 2011. During that time we have been through a lot together, ups and downs and we have been somehow insulated from the fan fighting that I hear is going on in other places. That is really something for us all to be proud of. I know that we all love Michael, and sometimes when something matters so much to us, we can get defensive and protective if others don't agree with our views. Being in a place where we can't see one another, or hear our voices, we have to interpret those important parts of the conversation ourselves, and if we are not in an open frame of mind it is easy to misinterpret what the other person is trying to say.
We did have a problem here last week, and one of our long time, well loved members felt it best for her to leave the group. It is heartbreaking to me, that she would feel it necessary to take that step. Lene's devotion on Monday reminded us that Michael is asking us to Come Together, Right Now.... Over Me. This applies, not only in the big picture of the world where we are all doing our part to help, but also in the tiny facebook comment that might be taken the wrong way. Let's be slow to judge and quick to apologize and continue to have Call for Love a safe place to be ourselves.
"We must learn to LIVE and LOVE each other, it's our only HOPE.... Without HOPE, we are lost." - Michael Jackson,
