Expanding Circles from Wanderer by Steve Macdonald

This was the song that started the idea that became the WorlDream. It was written at FKO in 2000. 

After the convention, the idea of having all filkers on the planet singing the same song together came to me in a dream. I had no idea how to make such a thing work; but having friends in Germany, the UK, Canada and the US; and wanting to see them all together was an image that I couldn't shake off.

Gary McGath wrote me a note a few days after this, "By the way, I just read your Expanding Circles on the Deutsche-Filk list, and enjoyed it very much. It's appropriate to the title of the song that you wrote it in Canada after meeting with some British friends, it was posted to a German list, and I read it in the USA."

This is for the entire filk community- anyone who has ever found understanding, fulfillment, and a bond through music, song, and the melding of souls with emotion and sound. This is also specifically for people in my intentional family; both past, present, and future.
