Welcome to Morning Open Thread, a daily post with a MOTley crew of hosts who chose the topic for the day's posting. We support our community, invite and share ideas, and encourage thoughtful, respectful dialogue in an open forum.
The diarist gets to sleep in if she wants to, and she can show up long after the post published. That is a feature, not a bug. Other than that, site rulz rule.
Join us, please.
From the film maker, Gnarly Bay:
Wayne, Maine is a magical place. There is no TV, no internet, no emails, and no stress. It's a simple reminder of the simple life, and all that we should be grateful for….
When I heard [David Steindl-Rast’s TEDtalk], all I could think of was sitting by a fire in Wayne, Maine, with friends and family. So thank you David for this beautiful reminder.
