I just read my morning meditation and I felt like I wanted to share a part of it, with a very slight edit:
"we know that our duty is to speak words of hope and love, not condemnation and antagonism. With the right attitude of love and kindness, we can create an atmosphere where people, especially people who think differently than you are lifted up, an atmosphere where the truth is spoken gently, kindly, and respectfully."
Many new ukers visit our forums, filled with the newly discovered "Joy of Uke". Some are naive, full of hope and wonderment, some are short on financial resources, seeking instruments that they can love, play well, and afford. I believe they deserve kind "mentorship", especially when they ask questions and guidance about instruments
that aren't exactly on our "A" list. They ask for our guidance. Do not ignore them.
I think that we do an admirable job. I also think that some of us could do better. All of us were noobs once.
ALOHA to a bunch of great ukers!
