Community
We all need community. We need support, we need love, we need advice, we need laughter, we need connectedness. That all happens in community. When we take the time to connect to other people, they also do the same with us. It is what has made us survive all these years. When you help others, get to know others, support others, break bread with others, belly laugh with others it forges a strong bond. This bond keeps us going. It makes us connected to others besides ourselves. We see our purpose and importance in this world and that makes us connected to more than just the surface of things, that makes us connected to meaningful relationships. Community is what gets us through when we are facing challenging times. Community comes in when we feel the world has gone out. Community is what grounds us. Find your community (or communities), live with purpose, take care of each other, for in the scheme of things, this is what it's all about.
