Community, in its true sense of shared values, shared care, unity and responsibility towards one another feeds our soul.

Community can also be superficial, performative, transactional, a comfort we use when it benefits us. We talk of how wonderful our community is, as long as it costs us nothing and serves all our superficial needs.

True community asks of us participation. True community is giving when no one is watching, supporting causes that do not personally benefit us, and standing united against systems that oppress and harm others, especially when we are not directly affected ourselves.

True community is connection, love and unity.

Come- unity. Through true community we join together, we stand together and we create an interdependence that is at the heart of healthy relating. We are stronger together, united we rise.

See you next week,
