As I've told folks, there are just >so many< things I'm grateful for ...
I'd exhaust myself just trying to enumerate them ...
And all of them created by someone/something else ...
Every item deserving a thank-you hug to its [C/c]reators ...

And the overwhelming majority of those hugs cannot be delivered...

Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh tells us to look deeper into things ...

This mug of hot tea in my hand ...
- the entire chain of people taking clay, shaping, firing, shipping, putting it on the store shelf and selling it to me...
- the entire chain-er-collective of people growing, processing, shipping ... tea.
- the collective of those making electricity a useful 'thing', and getting it to me.
- all who turned theory, and experimenting, and plastics and metals into building my microwave ...
- just for a cup of tea.

And all of the them deserving of a forever undeliverable Thanks Hug.

I >must< release hugs "into the Ether", otherwise I'd explode.

So of course take all the hugs you need and want.

Another set of "Collectives":

Story-telling is a Built-In for our species, same as MusicDance...
Another vast Collective, giving us computers, the Internet, the Web...
And those building BCTS ...

Where you write hundreds of stories ...
And I get to enjoy them ...

Yeah ... a long trip, but I could at least deliver those huggels in person.

Start grabbing huggles. I won't/can't run out.
