OMG. . .Community





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?

 

“We never know how our small activities will affect others through the invisible fabric of our connectedness.”
