 Editor’s note: Our news cycle is filled with reporting about acts that reflect our society’s deepest fears and wounds. Although it is painful to witness, bringing up these wounds also allows them to open for healing. Remember, as the famous Sufi poet Rumi stated so wisely, "The wound is the place where Light enters you." Let’s allow daily acts of kindness help to heal these deep wounds as well as help us overcome fear with love. |

People’s great creativity and diversity, our desire for contribution and relationships, blossom when the heart of our community is clear and beckoning, and when we refrain from cluttering our paths with proscriptions and demands. The future of community is best taught to us by life.

The Promise & Paradox of Community
We human beings have a great need for one another, “an instinct of community.” However, today this instinct to be together seems to be fragmenting as we experience increasing ethnic wars, militia groups, specialized interest clubs, and chat rooms. Are we using the instinct of community to separate and protect us from one another? It’s ironic that we live surrounded by communities that succeed in creating sustainable relationships over long periods of time. These are the webs of relationships called ecosystems. Margaret Wheatley shares more in this thought-provoking piece. { read more }
