This post was prompted by Emma at Crazy With Twins, here.
Since I can never see your face,
And never shake you by the hand,
I send my soul through time and space
To greet you. You will understand.
James Elroy Flecker (1884 – 1915)
I’ve loved these lines as long as I’ve known them. And now, although we wouldn’t exactly say ‘never’ I think the idea they convey finds a place in blogging. Many times we infer the concept ‘You’ll know what I mean, because you’re a blogger, too.’

I love how you’ve translated this to the blogging world. Very clever and very true too. I have felt great support from this community despite never having met any of them. A beautiful quote. Thanks for linking up to Wednesday Words. Xx
I’ve been very moved, several times, by the way the blogging community has rallied to help groups and individuals, and to share news items that inspire us!
Like Emma I love how you’ve translated it. And totally agree. Over the last year (and particularly recent months) I have had incredible support and love from people I have never met, I have been in tears a couple of times due to it!
We hear a lot (sadly) about the harm caused by nasty use of the internet. So it’s great when we can compare personal experiences like this!
Beautiful words, very apt for the blogging community
