Today I went to the shore to breathe in deeply and recharge.
Each breath was cleansing and calming and knowing.
I walked from one end to the other and just as I was about to leave
I noticed this…
this little community
clinging together
tight.
and I longed for a sense of community
to hold me tight
through thick and thin.

an invitation: share a photo that captures a sense of community.
What does community mean to you? Consider sharing a photo + a few words on your blog or flickr that capture community. And then, I would love it if you would come back here and tell me all about it. Let’s create our own little community lovefest, shall we?

I have a rookery of crows that frequent my yard. These noisy birds have woken me just after sunrise, interrupted my thinking throughout the day, but always set me to admiring their closeness and their dedicated watchfulness for the safety of the group. That's what community is to me-- a deep attention to the care and nurturing of all the members of that community, keeping them apprised and aware of the opportunities and possible dangers, to open their senses to the world around them. As the bird stretches its wings to catch the winds of opportunity, so must we. What new direction or force is tugging you?
