We all need a community to be a part of…
A city … a village… a space where you feel people are friendly and you are welcomed… a place where it always feels like you belong. The older I get the more I understand the need for community and thanksgiving and without them I feel we are nobody…
We are all connected by many invisible threads…
We crave alone time to sort out our thoughts and ideas… to calm, soothe ourselves and center but when we are at ease… we are aware… it is time to go back.
We always go back…
Because we need each other.
To grow…to share… to develop…to civilize…
her new I am very mad face …
I, once thought that race and nationality defined tribes and communities…
Now, I am certain that this is not true and it is just my foolish perception.
No longer a silent observer I find common bonds and experiences…
I weave them together as I learn from others…
I share in search of community and communion with others.
I have taken 2011 with a vengeance and I am building bridges instead of walls… I am reaching and grabbing for new connections and experiences… like a warrior with much purpose and my purpose is to connect… to be a part of the tribe… the tribe that was there all along always present but it needed my reflection and attention.
I now offer a respectful regard to the tribe it is a way of loving it, caring for it and nurturing it. Creating new ways to celebrate and bring myself and my family closer to others… Hoping these experiences teaches them to connect and love humanity with acceptance even when flawed. I now understand that nothing needs to be in order because it already is…the universe is in order and I am willing to harmonize with it. Such concept is an act of trust. No longer polarized with no particular feelings boxing me in…
I join the many tribes I encounter as I walk the sweet life...
Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family: Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one.” Jane Howard

ReplyDeleteBella. Siempre bella su niña. This is so true. Sadness is feeling one doesn't have a "place." I think it was George Orwell who said something about insanity being a man of "one." Beautiful pictures, as always. Un abrazo.
