Will Your Community Show Up? Yes It Will…
In the end, it is the reality of personal relationship that saves everything.
—Thomas Merton

 

When you are an activist, artist or creative it can be well….lonely.   Challenging the boundaries of the ordinary is scary work and many times it is  path that you walk alone. People feel disconnected enough when they follow the status quo–draw in the lines and follow the rules.

 

When you look  and think differently…when you want to destroy boundaries bot just  stretch them- then that makes it all teh harder.

Sometime you doubt. Sometime you give so much to the mission or cause that there is very little left over for you.

Know this:  Your community will show up when you need it. You are not alone.

 

What they look like an dhow they arrive is varied.
