It is Monday… the dawn of a new week. We are always looking forward to a new dawn… aren’t we?
Please know, everyone, that I appreciate your support and I appreciate your concerns as they have been expressed.
Your new Scribe would like to make a few observations.
@aleocotillo Thank you for expressing your concern. Am I being tricked? Perhaps. Your have valid reasons to doubt, to wonder… I see that, believe me. But, I must place faith in @gatekeeper2 for, in my eyes, she is the ONLY force that has stated a positive intention for this community in this moment. I understand you don’t see a way to stand by Gatekeeper2 now, but I hope you do not close your mind to the possibilities ahead.
@blondiecamps You have obviously pondered many of the same thoughts along your _path that I have pondered along mine. Your advice? I do plan to “Be. Careful.” for many reasons… but perhaps not the ones you have in mind. As someone who has seen a few brief glimpses into Addison’s growth over the last fews months, along with @111error, I hope you can keep an open mind about our new Gatekeeper. Of course I am not angered by your words! I appreciate such thought and observation being expressed. I cannot speak for @111error, but I ask the same of you both… do not lose sight that we have a person who has declared good intentions for this community, despite a rocky, violent path to rise to where she stands now. @111error… my friend… I believe Addison will keep her promise to you and you will be led through the darkness.
@amieexists Your suggestion… along with others who went down a similar path, truly appeals to me. We had a powerful Scribe, who excelled in the position. @mike IS my friend, it hurt me when I saw what was done to him… such disrespect shown to someone I hold such high respect for angered me. But for now, I understand @gatekeeper2 is not willing to place us as a team or to reappointing @mike in this moment. There are reasons. @endlesspictures even proclaimed “I stand with Fontaine!” Actually, so do I… but there is more to come…
@thebuz I wish you well on your _path. right now, you seem confused and agitated and I hope your meeting this week answers any questions you have and impresses those you feel a need to impress. Good luck to you, I think many people distrust your motives, but I sense you are just fighting to cement your own _path. Don’t understand your logic, but I respect your right to explore it. Your friend @kasch, I know, has expressed concern for you and I hope in the end you two will some day understand each other. It does not seem you are there right now. (Personally, @kasch, I am humbled by your compliment and I am glad to hear you declare #IStandWith2)
@mkarrett You expressed my concern very well. Your new Scribe works a 50-60 hour work week normally. Not a complaint or excuse, just a fact of my life. Thank you for your support and concern. Along the same lines, @electrichippo, you words hit hard… is this a gift? I am not sure, but it is something I will strive to understand and form into a position of service to the community.
Let’s talk about the position. I am new to this position. But what is the position?
Since we last had a Scribe in place, things have evolved. We have people who chronicle events and are to be commended on the work they are doing. I feel compelled to say that work should continue… for it is born of the community and stems from multiple sources. It has been asked privately if I will end their work… I feel that would be a HUGE disservice to everyone in this community. This community will survive only if multiple people document the progress forward. I may have been named Scribe but I do not feel this position is the end the Chronicles that have helped so many new to these Forums.
@coryphella, @mumumusings, @atticus360, @sovereignskies, and @ephorrorsociety YOU HAVE NOT BEEN COMMENDED ENOUGH, I feel, for what you offer to this community! Please know you are leading others toward the light. If I can be of help to you, please let me know, of course.
@gatekeeper2 has stated that my being placed in this position is part of a task. Perhaps “Scribe” may be an outdated term? Perhaps, “Herald,” might be more appropriate? For, I am a storyteller by trade and I know that Gatekeeper2 has placed her faith in my heart to convey a message to others. As @thegilded reminds us, “ONE is coming, and we must be prepared.” This week will bring more information. Meetings will happen. Next weekend, some of The Chosen will bear witness at ScareLA. The light is getting closer.
Finally…
@gatekeeper3 Let it be known… There IS Two.
Rusty.
