The idea of Koinonia (1), focuses our individual potential into an amalgamation of brilliance and light. The old adage of “united we stand divided we fall” comes to the forefront of the mind, and today is the day to consider coming together to form a closer association than the casual “’hello’… ‘hello’…” of a passerby’s communion. We, as a people so closely linked to one another, should embrace each other and come to the table together to share a wonderful, warm meal.
Everyone has their own hard work to do, especially while keeping up with the exhaustive struggle of money, but we do not have to do this alone. Fostering this wonderful idea of family presents us with a path to a goal not entirely in view, yet shows a path that leads us help, health, and happiness. The upcoming community that we are embarking on can provide help to those who need it, a vent for those who are frustrated, a forum for those who are concerned, a place for answers in a sea of questions… With the crystalline individualism of a snowflake and the clear clarity of glacial water, our paths have begun to flow to unknown ports, and the comfort of family and protection of love can always be there through our community. While going through its fledgling stages, our shaping and our parenting can produce a beautiful swan, the creator, and a powerful eagle, the protector. We must also be careful in not creating a vulture or a raven, the scavenger.
In our world now, with the magnitude and complexity of the problems we face, our diversity of talent potential must to be focused and recombined to fully utilize our human resources. As with the snowflake analogy, our talents and skills, like our paths, tend to be specialized and personalized according to the spirit inside. Many people have similar or parallel aspects within their talent range, and bring those pieces together in one community will fill the puzzle to a point past the scattered fragments of a fresh box to where the prospects of a complete masterpiece can shine through the clouds of our darkening present.
Endless possibilities exist when we fuse our strengths and heal our weaknesses. Here is where we can push towards ecological alignment, social recovery, or spiritual enlightenment. This is where we share ideas, advice, aid, and even items. The foundations of this focal body are being laid. Now we build up this community and make it our own. Help our Oikonomia(2); we're all in this together!

(1- Gk: community; 2- Gk: the management of a household so as to increase its use value to all members of the household over the long run.)

I salute you for reminding

I salute you for reminding us about community and working together.
Every living and non-living thing has a purpose or destiny that they are perfect for. Even guinea pigs have their purpose to feed other animals. But humans, as I see it, are managers of the Earth. Working together we can survive, and rather than suck the life out of the Earth, work with the land and animals to be better and stronger than they were before.
