i went outside to see nicole off to work and we noticed our mail on the front porch! not usually where we find it. believe it or not we usually find it in the mailbox! however there was a large package holding the rest of the mail down. with large text that reads LULU. and it has my name on it... i figured this was my official notice from a foreign government that i'm going to be hauled off to a secluded prison and die a slow, painful death. but as it turns out it was quite the opposite. i haven't opened it yet, but i have come to realise that its a poetry book that someone has self published. why do i have a copy? they seen an image i had taken on flickr and noticed it was licensed under creative commons. they emailed me and asked if they could use the image in their poetry book. the power of community strikes close to home once again. as thanks they sent me a complimentary copy. i have to say, i'm @ lost of words for a few people in this society. our friend who saw my image being one of them.
