I received a heart-warming auto-notification from the site administrator ('TWF Misses You!') and thought I'd respond.

I think it's been about two years since I posted here regularly. I have, indeed, thought of you lot and this internet space during that time. But I had to return only when I felt ready to. It might be that that time is getting closer; who knows? So I'll begin with this post today and see what happens next.

I've interacted with people here that have helped me and formed my views and opinions on things in ways that are pretty fundamental. However, I've experienced a period of transmutation in those past two years I mentioned that was so integral to my sense of being, so personal, that I needed time to pass before I ventured back here again.
I'm no Gandalf, but I've gained a new insight into the death of the Grey and the rebirth of the White; and the odd, questioning confusion that comes with such a change; that lasts for a time, at least. Patience might have something to do with it too.

I look forward to learning from you all once again!

So, like the title says: what's been goin' on? (:
