Let
us develop the resources of our land, call forth its
powers,
build up its institutions, promote all its great interests,
and see whether we also, in our day and generation,
may not perform something worthy to be remembered.

“It's
a pleasure to share one's memories. Everything
remembered is dear, endearing, touching, precious.
At least the past is safe /though we didn't
know it at the time. We know it now. Because
it's in the past; because we have survived.”
-- Susan Sontag

We
are all longing to go home to some place we have
never been - a place half-remembered and half-envisioned
we can only catch glimpses of from time to time.
Community. Somewhere, there are people to whom
we can speak with passion without having the words
catch in our throats. Somewhere a circle of hands
will open to receive us, eyes will light up as
we enter, voices will celebrate with us whenever
we come into our own power. Community means strength
that joins our strength to do the work that needs
to be done. Arms to hold us when we falter. A
circle of healing. A circle of friends. Someplace
where we can be free.
-- Starhawk

"The
best portions of a good man's life,
His little, nameless, unremembered acts,
Of kindness and love."
-- William Wordsworth
