Ask
yourself which moments that you have shared
with
others have made your heart sing.
Even if
they have been few and far between,
what is
important is not how many you have had, or how long they lasted,
but to
recall how it felt at the time.
What was
true about the setting?
For me, there is a spontaneity and joy
present.
These are the environments we want to create.
They teach
us how to weave strong webs of connection.
The
process itself will create community.
The
solutions to our malaise are not private ones.
We are
called to act together.
We are all equipped with what it is
going to take: hearts - big hearts.
It does
not take new technology, but it does take commitment, time, and
patience.
The
reward: wholeness, authentic relations with ourselves,
our
families and our communities - and saved lives.
