[...] great set of posts that explore and unpack some of the dimensions of writing with respect. Like the first 10 I shared with you here, they don’t talk directly about respect, but get you thinking about respect [...]

–Deb, no worries. A bit of linking out to you was long overdue! Your new site looks fabulous, but I can understand how it’d be taking you a bit of time to get it fully up and running. Good luck with it

I just realized that I never acknowledged that you linked to me in this post! (Sheesh. I’ve been way to busy with my new blog. http://www.knittingscholar.com by the way.) And I agree–Debbie’s post was amazing.

Hi Cath, my pleasure. I don’t do enough linking out – I wish I could do as much as you seem to manage! – but I enjoyed compiling this set of respect-full posts

Debbie, it was my pleasure. I’m glad that these small acts of friendship make a difference to you. Me too

Barbara – like the point about the virtual home and the application of the principles of hospitality to our writing and blogging. You’ve reminded me of some earlier material on this – I’ll see if I can dig it out of the archives

Bo, I think your photos and blog are a powerful way to teach respect for the natural world. I’m so glad to have discovered your work.

Thank you, Joanna, for such kind words. I do love writing about Wisconsin’s wildflowers and prairies. I try to teach respect for the natural world through example – I hope it helps, if even a little bit.

Hi Joanna,

Respect is important, isn’t it? I find with blogging, respect comes into play more often than we could imagine. Just as our blogs are like our homes in blogosphere, our visitors are our house guests. In real life we respect them, just as we should on our blogs. I love how your list of posts address this issue – each from a different angle. I am humbled and honored to be included. Thank you, Joanna.

Joanna, thank you for the kind words and link to my post. It is nice to have a friend like you in the blogging community or just in general. It makes my journey a lot more bearable.

Brad, I had not thought of the “unfiltered” reading, but I agree with you 100 percent.

Brad, my pleasure. I think part of the reason Debbie’s post works is that it is unspecific (until the end), connecting to a universal desire, on occasions, to wish things back to normal… combined with an acceptance and a love of the way that things really are. Maybe that’s part of the reason it spoke to me of ‘respect’

Karen, I’m glad I tickled you The respect theme is very powerful isn’t it? I think I could easily write for a few months just on this topic. I’m glad it’s resonating with you too

Wendi, I’m glad it gave you a nice surprise. I was very moved by your post and it was a pleasure to share it with a different audience
