Dave, now I have even better understanding of why you enjoyed my Brother George story! I had a Sister Mary too (more like 5 of them), and now that I think about it they set a standard for me which set me up for my college epiphany. As for the rest of your fine post, while you've illustrated well the "vastness" of learning possibilities in today's world, there's still good old person-to-person learning that oftentimes is the best learning (like your Xerox example). I just might opt for that e-mail now instead of Google! Thanks.

Dave, nice writing. You have highlighted the "Power of We" where one plus one is more than three. The connections amongst the Ho'ohana community are not yet leveraged to their fullest. And that is okay. It will be great fun continuing to explore the common items (Brother George/Sister Mary, et al) amongst us, and reaching out (via email, IM, or blog posts) to learn from each other, and to leverage each others connections. I am ready. The day is young.

Dave - GREAT article. We are blessed to have you with us as part of our community, as your enthusiasm for books is contagious. We are all in this world together, so we might as well connect up and help each other. Thanks for the reminder. Wonderfully written article!

"Imagine that each connection is a seed planted."

Dave - What a great image indeed! For many of us, learning has moved beyond the school room into the "cool" room - beyond forced sweat work into our networks. We connect and learn; link and learn. Learning is both the fertilizer and the bounty.

Thanks for the image.

You are right on the money with my associations Terry!

The potentiality of unleveraged connections here is most intriguing Steve!

Pure thoughts from a master connector Phil!

The acknowledgement that one has beamed an image via the written word is a writer's highest reward Blaine!

Just off a plane, yet again, catching up and reading newest to oldest, and so it strikes me Dave, that for me in this moment, your article so eloquently answers the Googling benefit over encyclopedias (context is in my comment for Dwayne, 9/15 post) —chances are, people are at the end of those clicks we make! With the encyclopedia it was pure imagination, but now we can make these incredible connections with an author, an artist, a photographer, the person who shares our passions.

The friendships we have made and continue to nurture are showing off some pretty incredible blossoms here. I wonder what we’ll be doing, sharing, and learning, when this is considered typical?

Bravo Dave! You have nailed it for me perfectly why I feel so humbled to be part of this community and awed by the amount of wisdom and passion I read in this forum and on everyone's sites. We are connected here and are able to reach through our computer keyboards to feel that web of knowledge (virtual shoulder grip from Spock).

Mahalo for helping me find the words and sharing your insight.

[Dave]

Succinctly put Toni! Love the keyboard to web of knowledge connection too.
