Community

The latest additions to our Community, seen this weekend right outside our windows.

As you can imagine I’ve read a lot about the concept of community in my life. Here’s a very unique definition of it from Anne Lamott… it’s pretty good!

“Community means we’re collaborating. It means you help my children and my old people and I help yours. It means we are in this together. Most of us are perhaps a tiny bit self-absorbed, and good at keeping out people who don’t look, vote, or act like our friends, and that’s very nice. But a good community includes all those other people and those of us at the edges. Welcomes are offered: hey, come on into the circle—yeah, you. You with your nose in the air, or a neck tattoo, a walker or a Rolls.”
