We never know how our small activities will affect others through the invisible fabric of our connectedness.... In this exquisitely connected world, it’s never a question of “critical mass.” It’s always about critical connections.—Margaret J. Wheatley,
“You are truly bringing a community together, Carol. It’s an amazing thing!”
That statement made after attending the BIG birthday party.
OMG. . .In So Many Ways. . .A birthday party. . .a BIG birthday party. . .Community?
Really? Doesn’t seem like community! But we never know.
Maybe the connectedness part. Community is a.k.a. connectedness. No one way. No right way.
A party. Dinner. Walk with a friend. Book group. Deep discussions on the back porch. A phone call. Church group. Church.
OMG. . .community is a connectedness.
Friendships forged. In new ways. Unfamiliar ways. From buying clothes. Jewelry. A connection is formed. An acquaintance becomes a friend.
OMG. . .Hey, want to come to my birthday party?
A conversation at a car club gathering. Laughter. And more laughter. Hey do you want to come to my birthday party?
OMG. . .In So Many Ways. Forming the invisible fabric of connectedness?
Music at the Plaza. Summer at its best. Meeting interesting people. New to Santa Fe. Share a margarita. Hey do you want to come to my birthday party?
OMG. . .new territory. . . being open. . .turning acquaintances into friends.
Like a homing pigeon. .. “My” church pew. Sitting with my community. Dear women.
All of the above. . .My critical connectedness.
I need community. Connectedness. Do you?
