“Hey, wonderful blog! I’m a fan”
“Thanks for the visit. I like your stuff too.”
“I’ve blogrolled you. Hope you don’t mind.”
“Not at all, you’re on my blogroll too.”
Commenting, competing, critiquing, prodding, sharing, writing for each other, laying their selves bare for each other, they became as intimate as lovers.
No, they became more intimate than lovers because they had never seen each other’s flesh and so their flesh was never a barrier between them.
Living more and more with each other’s thoughts and touching and feeling and tasting each other’s words, they mapped each other’s souls.
Bits and pieces of their identities fell away from them like beads from a broken necklace. As they spent nights caressing keyboards for each other’s pleasure, the real people they knew became dream-like, blurry, faded, insubstantial…

Hello
Just discovered your blog.
A very matured and intellectual post.
Cream of blogging is SELF EXPRESSION and feedback.......also blog reading gives us "food for thought".
Its a great timepass, good entertainment and a great way to meet different interesting people.
Cheers and check out my blog too.
Wow, y'all! Thanks for your visits and your comments! I value and appreciate them.
I think I've already been to most of your posts and commented on them. If I haven't already, I definitely will.
I think what I like most about blogging is the unexpected pleasant surprises when people read your stuff and leave little bits of their opinions for you in the comments box!
I also like the idea of a community of writers prodding and supporting and egging each other on. I hope I can become a part of such a community one day soon...
Cheers.

You have subtly made a huge point with this post. We are so much at comfort with these virtual like minded friends. There are no strings attached to these friendships.
And surprisingly, even by reading a poem/vignette they understand our state of mind and feelings way better than the people whom we actually meet. I love this medium of expression and am glad to have met some of the most wonderful people via blogging.
Here's to all the friends made and the ones we're to going to find!
