Claire: “I am SO over applying for jobs!”
Me: “Claire, how many jobs have you applied for?”
Claire: “One”

“Togetherness is beautiful-
But a togetherness that doesn’t suppress your gifts,
But a togetherness which will help each one become free,
To progress,
To become passionate,
To want to do things,
To work for peace.”

-from Jean Vanier

This is what is helping me a lot at the moment. This is what I am striving for. If community isn’t trying to live this then it is failing in some way. I’ve found it a very useful mantra slash guideline for living community, for creating community. Community is back in…but it isn’t the new freedom. I think true community can really only be created in a place of freedom.
