community

“Joy multiplies when it is shared among friends, but grief diminishes with every division. That is life.”

                                                           R.A. Salvatore, Exile

we are in this together

souls bound by Sacred Presence

love holding hands

connected, woven into a Sacred fabric

we call community

there are many kinds of communities

families

work places

churches

mosques

synagogues

the local bar

the local play ground

how you know you are in a real community

and truly among friends

is that when you share a joy, your joy explodes and dances

from person to person, growing strong with the laughter

and the shouts of joy

when you share your grief

it gets lighter

with every touch of the hand

every tear

every murmured prayer
