Build Community


"Learn from new and uncomfortable angles" meant a lot this week with the posts on gun violence and homophobia.  Community, like relationships, like family means being able to allow oneself to be uncomfortable to address difficult things.

Learning how to be community-minded is a challenge for the 21st century.  After decades of systematically learning how to be almost completely self-involved as the preferred lifestyle choice, we must un-learn our commodities focus world view in order to withstand change and stress to come.
