Thoughts on Community

As various members of the Linwood Team are spending time in places other than "home", they are out participating in community.

The following thoughts on community have come from others wisdom:


We clasp the hands of those that go before us,
And the hands of those who come after us.
We enter the little circle of each other's arms
And the larger circle of lovers,
Whose hands are joined in a dance,
And the larger circle of all creatures,
Passing in and out of life,
Who move also in a dance,
To a music so subtle and vast that no ear hears it
Except in fragments
Wendell Berry

The love of our neighbor in all its fullness simply means being able to say, "What are you going through?"
Simone Weil

The religious community is essential, for alone our vision is too narrow to see all that must be seen. Together, our vision widens and strength is renewed.
