We are all
longing to go home to some place we have never
been — a place half-remembered and
half-envisioned we can only catch glimpses of
from time to time. Community. Somewhere, there
are people to whom we can speak with passion
without having the words catch in our throats.
Somewhere a circle of hands will open to
receive us, eyes will light up as we enter,
voices will celebrate with us whenever we come
into our own power. Community means strength
that joins our strength to do the work that
needs to be done. Arms to hold us when we
falter. A circle of healing. A circle of
friends. Someplace where we can be free.
