Blipmeet at the Tate with Protesters

Many pictures have already been posted of yesterday's wonderful London gathering, so if you'd like to see a group of blippers enjoying each other, see Lookseeclick's extras and her links to the climate change protest. Or see Arachne's very moving shot that tells the whole story. (Sorry links just aren't working for me on the iPad. Tried and failed.)

It was a great privilege to meet all those who came, to experience the protest together, and to meet Lewishamdreamer, a https://www.blipfoto.com/lewishamdreamer blip friend for many years whose honesty and playfulness have long moved me to be more honest and playful myself.

We who "follow" each other here are more than a social network. We influence each other's work, we educate and enspirit each other. On our long nights we hold each other dear, understanding what it is to be afraid and yet linked by our very fear to each other. Because what is more common to all of us than love and fear? And what can we do more important in our lives than to see each other and say as in Zulu, Sawubona. I see you.
