How often have you been engaged in community?

Weekly in person, almost daily by phone since July 2024.

June 24 update: I am changing communities at this time. Still fond of the one I’ve been part of the last year, though for multiple reasons my departure is overdue. At some point, that is likely to be true in the next. I’ll be on the lookout for it earlier on when the headwinds begin. I am my own man. The needs of this individual are often not the needs of the pre-existing communities I find.

Guide post: I’m feeling a call to community around and out of me. To make community my love, instead of a woman, instead of just a woman. To recognize that out of community comes my love, out of giving there am I given to, out of reognizing the value in others do I give myself my own worth…unless I can be alone, and I have found that no matter how I long for solitude I am unable to be commpletely alone.
