On Gaia and Zaadz Nostalgia

It's barely a day since Zaadz transformed into Gaia and I'm already feeling a pinch of nostalgia. Most members have embraced the change. Some members have expressed sadness and protest. We (the team) feel their zaadness. We have our reasons. Zaadz will always be special to us. We've (the team and members) taken a cryptic Dutch word and gave it a new meaning in cyberspace. We've made it hot. We've made it fluffy. We've made it cool. We'd like to thank all 150,000+ members who made Zaadz a sweet success.
Our deepest gratitude to all of you!
But the time has come to practice what we preach -- to be the change so we could change our world. And there's nothing more fitting than this serendipitous quote from William Butler Yeats.
"Happiness is neither virtue nor pleasure nor this thing nor that but simply growth, We are happy when we are growing." ~William Butler Yeats
Keep on growing and flowing...








Thanks for all you do, ~C4!
I'm grateful to be part of this wonderful network with you & your Dakini!

“But the time has come to practice what we preach” … are you saying if we don't embrace the change to Gaia that we're not practicing what we preach?
I dig your enthusiasm for what you're doing. But people have the right to be pissed off that their time and energy into building the Zaadz community has now been sold to an organization they didn't originally buy into.
i'm not denying the right of people to be pissed off. by all means, go ahead and get pissed. but once you're done getting pissed, please take the time to get know the organization who bought Zaadz and see if there really is a conflict with our original ideals. as you can see, our mission and vision remain the same.
thanks for being here.

ALL hail to ALL those that were zaadz … that have now blossumed to BECOME GAIA …
GAIA in the potentially galactica.net sense, of course, NOT just planetary or galactic Gaia.
Congratulations on the “relatively smooth” changeover and GOD's speed for the future.
