Hello!
ReplyDeleteThank you Ted for doing the blog thang! Thank you Nell for having us last eve. Now we get to type!
One of the things we can envision is how we want to participate in growing, and helping each other to do that. In a way, Ted mentioned that last night when he said that not only are we thinking of how we are to be connecting in a community, but how we want to think of others in the future connecting to this community, versus another. What do we want to share with the world? How is our living together important for future generations? What does this mean and what does it look like? This may be a real stretch for some of us. However, it stands to reason that we have not thought much about how we have impacted the earth and each other... and now we hope it isn't too late to change this... and fast!
Whenever anyone wants to go walk around at So. Village to have a look, I'd be happy to go with you. Do we have permission to do this without reporting to or asking someone? I'm up for a picnic when the weather is dry again.
As the saying goes "Change is inevitable; growth is optional." I want to be participating with others to make these changes and learning and growing WITH them.
Love, Martha
Thank you Martha for starting the discussion! Keep an eye out for summaries of our meetings. Jill will be posting a summary of the last meeting at my house and I will post a summary of the meeting that Jill, Lynette and I had last Friday.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, a picnic is in the plans.
Love,
Nell
