A while back I had the domain ceruleansoul.com which I bought to be my web design domain, and my “main hub”. I chose that because a poem that I had written at the time.

Cerulean Soul
I have these places spaces
Where my mind is cerulean
In amongst the haze collision
Of a thousand other moments
Planes of memory falling bawling
Mediocre minuscule
Only striving for the testament
With you.

Last year, when I was scrabbling to come up with a name change from “amithecat” which we could all tolerate and wasn’t just a name that one or two of us liked or were represented in I came up with the idea of Echoes, because it’s plural and also because we’re all Echoes. We’re reflections of past and future lives, and also in certain respects we’re each reflections of a portion of the whole who was there before. We may consider ourselves separate “people” but we are kind of…not whole. We sort of have certain traits which are amplified and others which are neglected, because of “functions” or things like that.

The poem came back to me but slightly differently, and it’s what Ami used in the header when she made the original layout and this one.

Cerulean Echo
I am a cerulean echo of
the place that once was
Shattered upon the spaces
where someone used to be
Bend the world around me
Broken on the shores
I wash up with the tide
and find balance once more.

So, hence we are “Cerulean Echoes”.
